Early life

Born in the Belgian city of Brussels, Maggioni lived most of her life in Gorgonzola, Lombardy and after graduating she started studying philosophy at university in Milan. Interested in modelling, in her post-win interview on Sky website she declared she followed Cycle 1 jealously and immediately applied for Cycle 2. After joining the Milanese modelling industry she stated she will also continue her studies and hopes to become an independent woman and maybe a mother one day.

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.
