Sixth seed Irina-Camelia Begu won the Palermo title, ending the hopes of Italian favourite Lucia Bronzetti 6-2, 6-2.
It was the first time the two had met on the tour. Bronzetti looked to win her first WTA title and extend her four-match winning streak.
But it was the world No 45 who triumphed to win her first title of the year – and her first title since Bucharest in 2017.
