At the 2017 World Championships in Pesaro, Italy she became World champion in 5 Hoops, missing the podium with the Italian group in the Group All-around competition, finishing in 4th place, just 0.025 points behind Japan.[4]

Together with Anna Basta, Martina Centofanti, Letizia Cicconcelli, Alessia Maurelli and Martina Santandrea she participated at the 2018 European Championships in Guadalajara, Spain, where they won a gold medal in 5 Hoops and two silver medals in the Group All-around and in 3 Balls + 2 Ropes final. Another notable performance followed at the 2018 World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, with the title won in the mixed exercise with Balls and Ropes, in addition to the second place in the Group All-around, and finally the third place in 5 Hoops final. With placing in top 3 in Group All-around, they earned a spot for Italian team at the 2020 Olympic Games.

In 2019, they won bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan in 3 Hoops + 4 Clubs final. They finished 5th in Group All-around and 6th in 5 Balls final.

In 2021, the first official post-pandemic competition was World Cup Baku, about 18 months after the last competition, where they won three silver medals (Group All-around, 5 Balls, 3 Hoops + 4 Clubs). Subsequently, at the World Cup in Pesaro, they won 2 gold medals in both apparatus finals. In particular, the score obtained in the 5 Balls final, 46.950, is the highest score ever recorded in the history of rhythmic gymnastics up to that moment.[5] At the European Championships in Varna, Bulgaria, she and her teammates won silver in the Group All-around behind the Russian team, earning the title of European vice-champion again. They also won bronze medal in 3 Hoops + 4 Clubs final.[6][7] She took part in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan that year, together with her teammates Martina Centofanti, Alessia Maurelli, Martina Santandrea and Daniela Mogurean.
