MISS ITALIA 2011 is STEFANIA BIVONE!!!

Fabiola's Crowning

Patrizia Mirigliani,Miss Italia's owner,announced some news about next year's pageant.

*Only girls who are above 18 can compete,wich means Goodbye to 17 years old contestants.
*There will be two more "special titles": Miss Italia Sport and Miss Italia Arte


I'm disappointed..It's going to be a talent show,not a beauty pageant..

The 72th edition of Miss Italia beauty pageant,the most important and traditional contest in Italy,will move to Montecatini Terme,after Salsomaggiore's withdrawal (storic host of Miss Italia since years) due to econimic crisis.


It will happen on September 18th and 19th (Coronation's day) and will traditionally be broadcasted on Italy's main TV channel,RAI 1. Fabrizio Frizzi has been recently announced as host. Francesca Testasecca,Miss Italia 2010,will crown her successor at the end of the event.



As previously said,only over 18 girls were allowed to join the pageant. Most important of all,Miss Italia,after opening its doors to mothers contestants,plus size girls could finally compete. As expected,it has been an amazing move as more than 4.000 over-size girls,from different regions,joined the regional contests,trying to compete at National finals.


The contest will stop being a "talent" show,as judges will focus more about beauty.


***
To reach the National Prefinals,the delegates have to gain regional titles made of Miss Sportiva,Miss Curve d'Italia Elena Mirò,Miss Eleganza SiE'Lei,Miss Cinema Veribel,Miss Wella Professionals,Miss Deborah Milano,Miss Rocchetta Bellezza,Miss Miluna and finally the last Miss representing the chief town of every single region. About 10 girls represent the regions. All the girls winning these titles,earn both access to regional finals (trying to be directly a Miss Italia finalist,winning sashes like 'Miss Sicilia','Miss Toscana'..) and then to national prefinals,that will start on August 25 in Montecatini Terme,where a line up of 233 girls will fight to reach one of the 39 spots,joining the 21 straight finalists.
