A glamorous former tennis star who quietly left the sport to pursue a career in lingerie modelling has made a striking return to Italy. Camila Giorgi, 33, once one of the country’s top athletes, had stepped away from professional tennis in May last year after years on the international circuit. Her departure surprised many fans, especially after she reached a career-high world ranking of No. 26 in 2018.
Her retirement wasn’t the only headline she made. Soon after leaving the sport, Giorgi faced allegations of fleeing Italy to avoid tax authorities — claims that drew significant media attention but remained surrounded by mystery. Despite the controversy, she continued building her modelling career, sharing glamorous photoshoots and fashion work online.
Now, the former athlete appears to have returned to the public spotlight in style. Over the weekend, Giorgi graced the red carpet at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, turning heads in her home country once again. Her appearance marked her first major event in Italy since stepping away from tennis.
Fans and onlookers were quick to take notice of her confident comeback, sparking fresh discussions about her transition from sports to modelling. While Giorgi has yet to comment publicly on her legal situation or career shift, her presence at one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals suggests she’s embracing her new chapter with poise and glamour.
