Born in Pisa, Migliori was one of Italy's top players of the 1950s.[1] She won 17 national titles, which included singles triumphs in 1951 and 1955.[2] Against international opponents at the Internazionali d' Italia she made the singles semi-finals twice and one doubles final. Known for her abilities at the net, she was a women's doubles semi-finalist at the 1953 French Championships with Silvana Lazzarino. She reached the singles fourth round at Wimbledon in 1954.[3]
