Career
Born in Palermo on 4 April 1982, she started her career in 1996 in Aquile Palermo. Despite playing in the third-tier, in May 1998 she made her debut for the Italian national team against Finland in the 1999 World Cup qualifying at 16.[2] The next year Conti signed for Serie A runner-up Torres CF, where she played for the next 10 years, winning 2 championships and 4 national cups and making her UEFA Women's Cup debut and scoring 95 goals in 185 games in Serie A. In 2005 she made her debut at an international final tournament in the 2005 European Championship, where Italy was knocked out in the group stage.
In 2008 Conti moved to Spanish league champion Levante UD to again play the UEFA Women's Cup.[3] Following the end of the season and playing the 2009 European Championship and the 2009 W-League with Buffalo Flash in the summer, she moved to national cup champion RCD Espanyol. Despite scoring 26 goals and winning the cup in her only season in Espanyol she returned to a declining Levante for the 2010-11 season.
In 2011 she signed for Russian Championship's runner-up Energiya Voronezh. However, after Energiya was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League's Round of 16 she moved to Zorky Krasnogorsk, where she played two seasons. There she won the championship and again played the Champions League.[4] On the other hand, she wasn't called up for the 2013 European Championship.
In 2013 she returned to Torres CF, now a national powerhouse, after five years abroad.[5]
