Italia's Next Top Model
Maggioni was soon noticed for her happy personality and ability to deliver great pictures. However the judges often complained about her lack of composure in the runway challenges and almost at the end of the competition placed her in the bottom two for losing her composure during a photo shoot. From that experience a new and more professional Michela regained strength in the final tasks and eventually managed to deliver an effortless and convincing runway walk in the final runway for Byblos. This improvement together with her inborn skill in producing good photos earned her the title of Italia's Next Top Model.Career
