Manuela Giugliano scored twice against her old club to clinch a deserved victory for Alessandro Spugna's side, who continue to set the pace in the Serie A standings.
Both Giugliano's goals came after great work from her teammates: first Emilie Haavi found the byline to deliver an inviting cross for the No. 10 to head home, before soon after Annamaria Serturini cantered down the same flank before firing in a cross that Giugliano eventually lashed into the bottom corner.
"Finally, we've done it," Giugliano said. "Because before today we had never won here.
"We are really happy, because we managed to deliver on everything we had worked on during the work. That's what we are focused on doing right now."
The Giallorosse started with intent and created chances from the off, although they had to be somewhat patient to finally break the deadlock.
Once Giugliano had made her twin interventions, however, there never seemed any real prospect of Spugna's 50th game as boss ending in anything other than a win.
"Over and above it being my 50th game, the three points were important for our momentum and because of the message it sends to the rest of the league," he said.
"This is not an easy place to play - and we knew that coming in - so to play with the control we did just shows that we are doing really well right now."
