Giada has represented Italy in all youth levels. In 2018, she played her first 9 friendly matches with the U16s (four of them at "Torneo delle Nazioni" in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where Italy finished 4th) and in 2019 she made 6 more appearances for them (four of them at "Torneo delle Nazioni", where Giada became captain against Macedonia and scored her only goal with the national team).
