[edit]Aurora's career in darts began in 2017, when she started to participate in local darts tournaments in Italy. In 2021, she reached the final of the Malta Open, but was defeated by Paula Jacklin 5–4 in a last-leg decider. In 2022, she took a part in the WDF Europe Cup Youth, where she defeated Amy Evans 5–1 and won a gold medal in the singles girls competition.[2] In the pairs competition with Elisa Bolzicco, she achieved a bronze medal, but lost 3–1 in the semi-finals to eventual champions Tamara Kovács and Krisztina Turai from Hungary.

On the first day of the pairs competition, she won the bronze medal for the second time in her career. Her partner was Giada Macchi.
