Later in the same month she was again a candidate for the pageant Miss Italia 2011, but, even though she was one of the favourites to the crown, she was banned from the competition by the judicial department of the contest due to some sensual photos in lingerie she had taken while modeling. Against her, the Article 8 of the competition guidelines: «Nude poses and semi-nudity with strong emphasis on the provocative element.» Following the decision, a press release from the organization was made public and it stated:

Besides her, two other contestants—Alice Bellotto and Tiziana Piergianni—were also eliminated for the same reasons.

Being banned from Miss Italia gave Modugno even more notoriety and a boost to her career. In July 2012 she appeared on the cover of German Maxim, and her Mediterranean beauty and curvy body ended putting her later in the same year to pose for a series of photo shootings for a Riello company calendar in Nosy Be island, Madagascar. Besides it, she kept modeling for many fashion brands and campaigns, such as Roberto Coin, Bruno Caruso, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Tom Ford and Christian Louboutin.
