During the season, she was coached byEdoardo De Bernardis and Claudia Masoero inTurin.^[4]

Beccari decided to train underFranca Bianconi inBergamo.^[1] Starting her season on the JGP series, she placed seventh inKaunas, Lithuania, and fifteenth inLjubljana, Slovenia. She then won three junior international medals – bronze at theGolden Bear of Zagreb, gold at theWarsaw Cup, and gold at theDenkova-Staviski Cup. Although too young for international senior-level events, she competed in the senior category at the Italian Championships in December.

Beccari withdrew from the2021 CS Lombardia Trophy. Following the cancellation of the2021 Cup of China, Italy unexpectedly became the host of the third event in theGrand Prix, the2021 Gran Premio d'Italia.^[6] Beccari was one of two Italian women assigned to compete at the home Grand Prix (along withLara Naki Gutmann), making her Grand Prix debut with a twelfth-place finish.^[7] She was sixth at the Italian championships.^[5]

In the summer of 2022, Beccari had the opportunity to switch topair skating after reigning Italian national championNicole Della Monica decided to retire following theBeijing Olympics, leaving her partnerMatteo Guarise looking for a new partner to continue onward to the2026 Winter Olympics inMilan andCortina d'Ampezzo.^[8] Beccari would later say that she had previously tried out in pairs, but due to an injury had focused on singles skating. However, she had reconsidered after the prior season, citing that "I had a lot of physical issues that affected me on the ice and in all my competitions. I was feeling low, both physically and mentally. I instantly decided that I needed a drastic change"^[9]

Beccari/Guarise made their international debut at the2022 CS Warsaw Cup, finishing in fourth place. They won the bronze medal at their first Italian championships, and were seventh at the2023 European Championships.^[10]

Beccari/Guarise began the season with a fourth-place finish at the2023 CS Lombardia Trophy.^[10] At their secondChallenger event, the2023 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, they won the silver medal, their first international podium together. They set new personal bests in both the free skate and total score.^[11] They were invited to make theirGrand Prix debut at the2023 Skate Canada International, where they won the bronze medal, despite each making a jump error in the free skate. Beccari remarked that she was "really happy" about her "first important medal," though "about the skate, we are not that happy." Guarise deemed it a "learning experience."^[12] They went on to win the silver medal at the2023 NHK Trophy.^[13] Beccari/Guarise finished the Grand Prix with the same placements as fellow Italian teamGhilardi/Ambrosini and HungariansPavlova/Sviatchenko, but lost the tiebreaker of cumulative scores, and thus finished as second alternates to theGrand Prix Final.^[14] Guarise acknowledged this as disappointing, but said "for our first Grand Prix season we can be pleased."^[13]
