The 34-year-old victim suffered devastating head and chest injuries in the crash.
Both her partner and daughter escaped without injury.
The 52-year-old motorist stopped immediately and tried to give first aid at the scene.
Medics raced Michela to hospital and placed her in an induced coma as her condition stayed critical.
Michela, who lived in Capriolo, near Brescia in northern Italy, was hit in the nearby town of Adro at around 9pm on 24 July.
She clung to life for 13 days before her heart finally gave out yesterday (6 Aug).
Police tests later confirmed the driver had cocaine in his system.
He now faces a road death investigation.
Michela’s organs were donated so others can live on, as reported by Need To Know.
She was the only child of Tiziana and Giacomo.
She shared her life with partner Lorenzo Vitali for over 10 years and their daughter Camilla was born in 2023.
Michela graduated in education sciences and worked as an office employee.
She loved reading and music and once met her favourite singer Francesco Guccini.
A vigil is due to take place today (7 Aug) and her funeral is set for tomorrow.
The investigation continues.
