Stefania Berton was born 19 July 1990 in Asiago, Italy. In January 2012, she became a member of the sports group of the Italian police. She became engaged to American pair skater Rockne Brubaker on 2 February 2013. The couple married on June 5, 2015 in Wisconsin.

As a singles skater, Berton won the silver medal at the 2007 Italian Nationals and placed 6th at the 2006 Junior Grand Prix Final. As an ice dancer, she competed on the novice level with Marco Fabbri.

Berton teamed up with Ondřej Hotárek to compete in pair skating in early 2009. They won the silver medal at 2010 Italian Nationals and were selected to compete at the World Championships. They placed 11th in their debut at the event.

During the 2010–11 season, Berton/Hotárek won silver at the Nebelhorn Trophy and also debuted on the Grand Prix circuit, finishing sixth at Cup of Russia. They won their first Italian national title and were sent to the 2011 European Championships.
