Since 2021, she has served as Deputy vice-president of the National Council of the [[Italian National Olympic Committee]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.coni.it/it/coni/giunta-nazionale.html|title=CONI {{!}} Giunta Nazionale|website=[[Italian National Olympic Committee|CONI]]|access-date=27 May 2025}}</ref>

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Silvia Salis was born in [[Genoa]] and grew up in the district of [[Sturla]]. Her father, Eugenio, originally from [[Sorso]], worked as a groundskeeper at the Villa Gentile athletics field and was an active member of the [[Italian Communist Party]]. Her mother was employed by the municipality.

=== Youth career ===
Salis began training in athletics in 1993 at the age of eight. Initially interested in the [[long jump]], she eventually shifted her focus to throwing events under the guidance of coach Valter Superina, himself a former [[hammer throw]]er.

Salis’s first national successes came in 2001, when she won youth titles and represented Italy at the [[IAAF World Junior Championships in Athletics|World Youth Championship]]s in [[Debrecen]]. Over the following years, she claimed multiple Italian junior and under-23 titles and took part in major international competitions, including the European and World Junior Championships, as well as the European U23 Championships.

=== Rise to the National Team and the Beijing Olympics ===
Salis made her senior debut with the [[Italy national athletics team|Italian national team]] at the [[2006 European Athletics Championships|2006 European Championships]] in [[Gothenburg]], though she did not advance to the final. In 2007, she finished fourth at the [[2007 European Athletics U23 Championships|European U23 Championships]] and ninth at the [[2007 Summer Universiade|Universiade]] in [[Bangkok]]. The following year she won several national medals, including gold at the university championships and silver at both the indoor and outdoor national competitions. Internationally, she placed seventh at the [[European Winter Throwing Cup]] in [[Split, Croatia|Split]] and fifth at the [[2008 European Cup (athletics)|European Cup]] in [[Annecy]]. In 2008 she surpassed the 70-meter mark for the first time, qualifying for the [[Beijing Olympics]]. However, she did not reach the final.

=== International breakthrough and medals (2009–2011) ===
In 2009, Salis won two national titles and earned a bronze medal at the [[European Winter Throwing Cup]] in the [[Canary Islands]]. That summer, she won gold at the [[Athletics at the 2009 Mediterranean Games|Mediterranean Games]] in [[Pescara]]. She also placed fifth at the [[2009 Summer Universiade|Universiade]] in [[Belgrade]] and competed at the [[2009 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]] in [[Berlin]] without reaching the final. Over the next two years, she continued to dominate at the national level, claiming both winter and summer titles. Internationally, she finished seventh at the [[2010 European Athletics Championships|2010 European Championships]] in [[Barcelona]] and took silver at the [[2010 European Cup Winter Throwing|Winter Throwing Cup]] in [[Arles]]. In 2011, she set her personal best of 71.93 meters at a meet in [[Savona]], a mark that [[Athletics in Italy#Hammer throw|ranked sixth all-time in Italy]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/letter=0/athcode=183691/index.html |title=Silvia Salis |publisher=iaaf.org |accessdate=22 July 2012}}</ref> That season also included top-eight finishes at the [[European Throwing Cup|Winter Throwing Cup]] in [[Sofia]], the [[2011 European Team Championships|European Team Championships]] in [[Stockholm]], and the [[2011 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]] in [[Daegu]], where she placed eighth.

=== London Olympics and final seasons (2012–2015) ===
Salis began 2012 with three national titles—indoor, outdoor, and university—but experienced setbacks internationally. She finished ninth at the [[European Winter Throwing Cup]] in [[Montenegro]] and failed to register a valid throw in qualification at the [[2012 European Athletics Championships|European Championships]] in [[Helsinki]]. At the [[2012 Summer Olympics|London Olympics]], she did not progress beyond the qualification round, registering only one legal throw that hit the cage and landed at 10.84 meters.

In the years that followed, she remained a prominent figure in national competitions. In 2013 she was seventh at the [[2013 European Athletics Team Championships|European Team Championships]] in [[Gateshead]]. In 2014, she won another national title and placed fourth at the European Winter Throwing Cup in [[Leiria]] and fifth at the [[2014 European Athletics Team Championships|European Team Championships]] in [[Braunschweig]]. She continued competing in 2015, winning her tenth national title at the Italian Championships in [[Turin]] and finishing seventh again in [[Leiria]].

=== Transition to Sports administration ===
In April 2016, Salis retired from competition due to injury. She soon transitioned into a leadership role, becoming a sports executive for the [[Fiamme Azzurre]], the police sports group she had long represented. Later that year, she was elected to the Federal Council of the [[Italian Athletics Federation]] (FIDAL). In 2017, she joined the National Council of the [[Italian National Olympic Committee]] (CONI), and in May 2021, she was elected Deputy Vice President of CONI.

=== Political career ===
[[File:Silvia Salis saluta.jpg|thumb|Salis during her electoral campaign for the mayoral elections in the municipality of Genoa]]
On 26 May 2025, she was elected [[Mayor of Genoa]], defeating the [[Centre-right coalition (Italy)|centre-right]] candidate [[Pietro Piciocchi]].
Salis entered politics in early 2025 when she was announced as the [[Centre-left coalition (Italy)|centre-left coalition]]’s candidate for [[mayor]] of [[Genoa]] in the [[2025 Italian local elections|local elections]]. Her candidacy was backed by the [[Democratic Party (Italy)|Democratic Party]], the [[Five Star Movement]], the [[Green and Left Alliance]], and several civic lists, including one bearing her name, "Silvia Salis Sindaca".

== Personal life ==
She graduated from [[Link Campus University]] with a [[bachelor's degree]] on [[political science]] in 2018. 

She got engaged to the writer and director [[Fausto Brizzi]] in 2020, and had their first child on 5 October 2023.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gazzetta.it/fuorigioco/15-02-2019/silvia-salis-martella-pregiudizi-con-fausto-brizzi-sono-felice-3201399396575.shtml?refresh_ce-cp |title=Silvia Salis martella i pregiudizi: "Con Fausto Brizzi sono felice" |publisher=gazzetta.it |language=it |accessdate=25 February 2019}}</ref>
