Also, she was runner-up at the Italian Ladies Amateur twice (2016 and 2019), at the 2016 Austrian Ladies Amateur, and lost the final of the Spanish Ladies Amateur twice, in 2017 to Frida Kinhult of Sweden and in 2019 to Candice Mahe of France. In 2018 she was runner-up at the German Girls Open, one stroke behind Ingrid Lindblad, and in 2019 runner-up at the Internazionali d'Italia Femminili U18. She placed 5th at the 2019 Girls Amateur Championship after finishing as the leading qualifier for the match play stage.[2]

At the World Junior Girls Championship in Canada, she won the team gold in 2018 and lost a playoff to Seo-yun Kwon in 2017 for the individual title, was runner-up two strokes behind Atthaya Thitikul in 2018, and was third in 2019, again behind winner Thitikul.

Nobilio won the girls' individual silver at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics after prevailing in a playoff against Emma Spitz of Austria and Yuka Saso of the Philippines.[3]

She represented Italy at the European Girls' Team Championship each year between 2015 and 2018, winning in 2016 and 2018, and the European Ladies' Team Championship between 2019 and 2024.
