The 25-year-old defender played at Boston University before launching her pro career in Sweden, where she was the league's Defender of the Year in 2024-25.
Mattivi tallied two assists in five games for the host country at last month's Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, advancing to the quarterfinals.
"Nadia is coming off an excellent season in Sweden and also performed very well at Milano-Cortina, and we are happy to have her join our team," said Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau, who was also the GM of the Italian team.
Also on Monday, the Victoire placed captain Marie-Philip Poulin on long-term injured reserve. The 34-year-old Canadian center has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since March 15 and is eligible to return to the lineup on April 5.
