Cicognini became a badminton professional as soon as she left school. She soon moved to Denmark, and then moved to the International Badminton Federation's training centre in Saarbrücken, Germany. In 2010, she returned to Switzerland and joined the sport army, where she played for the BC Uzwil. She later moved to Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany and played for the 1.BV Mülheim in the first bundesliga.

At the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing she reached the second round, losing to Anna Rice of Canada.[4] In 2016, she did not advance to the elimination round after placing third in the group stage.

In 2015, she represented Italy to compete at the European Games in the women's singles event. She was defeated by Line Kjærsfeldt of Denmark 21-10, 25-23 in round of 16.[5]
