Career

Early years

Ambrosini began learning to skate in 2001.[2] Early in his career, he competed in singles. In the 2009–2010 season, he debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series and won the Italian national junior title.[3][4]

Ambrosini's first international event with Alessandra Cernuschi was the 2011 NRW Trophy; they placed 5th in junior pairs. In March 2012, they placed 20th at the World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus. The pair's JGP debut came in September 2012.

2013–2014 season

Cernuschi/Ambrosini placed 17th at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary, and 8th at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.

2014–2015 season

Cernuschi/Ambrosini won silver at the 2015 Bavarian Open and finished tenth at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. They were coached by Tiziana Pagani and Cristina Mauri in Assago and Milan.[5]

2015–2016 season

Ambrosini and Alexandra Iovanna made their international debut in November, placing 8th at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy. In December, they finished 12th at the 2015 Golden Spin of Zagreb.[6] It was their final competition together. In 2016, he teamed up with Rebecca Ghilardi.

2016–2017 season

Making their international debut, Ghilardi/Ambrosini won the bronze medal at the 2016 CS Lombardia Trophy in September. A month later, they took bronze at the International Cup of Nice. In December, they became the Italian national bronze medalists. They placed 14th in the short program, 11th in the free skate, and 11th overall at the 2017 European Championships, which took place in January in Ostrava, Czech Republic. They trained under Rosanna Murante and Tiziana Rosaspina in Bergamo.[7][8]

2017–2018 season

Ghilardi/Ambrosini placed 8th at the 2017 CS Warsaw Cup in November. The following month, they repeated as national bronze medalists. They won silver at the Toruń Cup in January and bronze at the International Challenge Cup in February.

2018–2019 season

Ghilardi/Ambrosini competed at several Challenger events at the beginning of the season, including taking the silver medal at the 2018 CS Inge Solar Memorial. They won the silver medal as well as the Italian Championships, and were sent to the 2018 European Championships, where they finished in ninth place. At their first World Championships, they finished nineteenth among the nineteen competitors.

2019–2020 season

Ghilardi/Ambrosini made their Grand Prix debut at the 2019 Internationaux de France, where they placed eighth. They then placed seventh at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup.[9] After taking silver at the Italian Championships, they finished the season at the 2020 European Championships, placing eighth.[10] They had been assigned to compete at the World Championships in Montreal, but these were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[11]

2020–2021 season

With the pandemic continuing to affect events, Ghilardi/Ambrossini started their season off at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, which was only attended by pairs teams training in Europe.[12] They were third after the short program, and after the withdrawal of Hase/Seegert, the leaders after that segment, they narrowly won their first Challenger Series title over silver medalists Hocke/Kunkel.[13] They were scheduled to compete on the Grand Prix at the 2020 Internationaux de France, but the event was cancelled due to the pandemic.[14]

They placed seventeenth at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm.[15]

2021–2022 season

Ghilardi/Ambrosini began the season at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy, winning the bronze medal.[16] They had initially been assigned to compete on the Grand Prix at the 2021 Cup of China, but following the event's cancellation they were reassigned to a special home 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia, held in Turin.[17] They placed fifth.[18] They were fifth as well at their second Grand Prix, the 2021 Internationaux de France.[19] They placed fourth at the Budapest Trophy.[20]

At the Italian championships, Ghilardi/Ambrosini won the silver medal. Later, they were named to their first Olympic team.[21] Competing first at the 2022 European Championships, Ghilardi/Ambrosini placed fourth in the short program. They were fifth in the free skate, and dropped to fifth overall. Ghilardi afterward said it was an emotional moment for them to have made the final group of the free skate alongside the elite Russian teams.[22]

Competing at the 2022 Winter Olympics in the pairs event, Ghilardi/Ambrosini placed sixteenth in the short program after Ghilardi fell twice, one of those being on her triple Salchow attempt. They were the final team to qualify for the free skate.[23] They moved up to fourteenth overall in the free.[24] The team was scheduled to finish the season at the 2022 World Championships, but withdrew after Ghilardi tested positive for COVID.[25]
