When Friday's winner, home rider Sofia Goggia, drove out, there was no one to threaten Ilka Stuhec, who won by a margin of 26 hundredths down to runner-up Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, Norway.
It was Stuhec's, world champion in 2017 and 2019, first win in the World Cup since December 2018.
The battle for third place became all the closer.
Elena Curtoni, Italy, finally drew the longest straw, but it was on her hair.
In shared fourth place were Lara Gut-Behrami, Switzerland, and Ragnhild Mowinckel, Norway – only one hundredth behind the Italian.
The American remains on 82 World Cup victories, the same number as compatriot Lindsey Vonn.
Ingemar Stenmark's record, which has stood for 34 years, is 86 victories.
No Swedish skater entered.
The Women's World Cup weekend in Cortina concludes on Sunday, with the super-G.
