Rachele Iovine is living la dolce vita. A 2025 Easter trip to Italy to see family chanted the Floral Park native’s trajectory on the softball field for the better, giving the high school senior the opportunity of a lifetime to play with some of the game’s best overseas.
“It was always a dream, but I never thought it would really happen,” the star of The Mary Louis Academy told The Post. The visit to see cousins in Milan and Naples became a softball world tour when Iovine’s father, Frank, reached out on a whim to the Italian American Baseball Foundation, which fellow Long Islander Chris Vaccaro helps run.
