Marta Lo Deserto (born March 30, 2002) is an Italian curler from Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[1] She currently plays third on the Italian National Women's Curling Team skipped by Stefania Constantini.

Career[]

Lo Deserto made her international debut at the 2019 World Junior-B Curling Championships as alternate for the Stefania Constantini rink. The team finished 3–3 at the tournament, failing to qualifying for the 2019 World Junior Curling Championships.[2] The next month, she skipped the Italian mixed team at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, finishing with a 3–3 record.[3]

In 2020, her mixed team represented Italy at the 2020 Youth Olympics. After finishing 4–1 in the round robin, they lost to Norway in the quarterfinals.[4] She then competed in the mixed doubles tournament with Spanish curler Aleix Raubert. They lost in the round of 24.[5]

She joined the Italian National Women's Curling Team at third for the 2020–21 season. With teammates Stefania Constantini, Angela Romei, Giulia Zardini Lacedelli and Elena Dami, she competed in her first World Championship at the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship.[6] The Italian team was originally not supposed to compete in the 2021 championship, but due to the cancellation of qualification events as well as the change in the Olympic Qualification Process, they were added as the fourteenth team.[7] At the World Championships, the team finished in thirteenth place with a 2–11 record, their wins coming against Estonia and Germany.[8]

Lo Deserto is currently a student.[1]
