Their result, combined with the fourth-place finish of Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, earned Italy three spots at the following year's world championships.
Shortly afterwards, Fabbri injured the tendons in his right hand, and for some time, the team contemplated withdrawing from the Grand Prix as a result.
"[14] Following the French Grand Prix, Guignard/Fabbri opted to discard their original Paramour-themed rhythm dance in favour of music from Grease.
[16] They placed fourth in the free dance after Guignard fell on a lift exit, winning their second bronze medal of the Grand Prix season.
[18] They were scheduled to skate last in the free dance, which became a protracted wait following technical issues in assessing the score for the penultimate team Papadakis/Cizeron.

[42] Once again beginning the season at the Lombardia Trophy, they won another gold medal, setting a new personal best in the rhythm dance in the process.

[45] Guignard and Fabbri entered the Grand Prix Final as the second-ranked team behind Canadian champions Gilles/Poirier, with the event occurring on home ice in Turin.

"[48][49] Entering the 2023 European Championships as the title favourites, Guignard/Fabbri won the rhythm dance over Britons Fear/Gibson by a margin of 1.11 points.
Guignard expressed disappointment that changes made to their rotational lift had not resulted in better scores, as they felt it was more musical.
"[52][53] At the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Guignard/Fabbri were considered favourites for the podium along with Chock/Bates and Gilles/Poirier, the latter having missed much of the season after Gilles needed an appendectomy.

[61] Guignard/Fabbri entered the 2023 NHK Trophy as the favourites, but were unexpectedly upset in the free dance by European silver medalists Fear/Gibson of Great Britain.
