Manni's first ice dancing partner was Andrea Fabbri.[4] In 2014, she teamed up with Benjamin Naggiar to compete for Italy in senior ice dancing. The two placed tenth at the 2014 International Cup of Nice in October and seventh at the Italian Championships a couple of months later. They were coached by Valter Rizzo and Brunilde Bianchi in Sesto San Giovanni.[6]
During the 2015–16 season, Manni represented Italy with Saverio Giacomelli. The two appeared at four internationals, including two ISU Challenger Series events.
