Miss Italia is the Italian beauty contest par excellence, the contest most followed by the public and most coveted by the "Misses" from all over Italy!
Miss Italia - The contest
The first edition was held in 1939, with a very different goal from today, to sponsor a brand of toothpaste through the “Miss Smile” contest. In this case the contestants sent a photo, and participated in a photo contest. In 1946, after the war, there was the first edition called "Miss Italia". The competition it has often been modified over the years, adapting it to the progress of society. Above all, the growth of feminist movements has led the program to take the right measures to avoid discrimination of any kind.
The most beloved miss?
Over the years the most beautiful girls from all over Italy have challenged each other. The goal of winning Miss Italy was, and still is seen by many today, as a starting point for a career at the highest level on television. Many misses have managed to build a career after participating in the competition (winners and not), such as: Martina Colombari, Anna Falchi, Sophia Loren, Miriam Leone, Alice Sabatini, Cristina Chiabotto, Giulia Arena. It must be said, however, that among the winners, few have established themselves at the highest levels of Italian television. Among those who have made it, the name of stands out Miriam Leone!
Miriam is probably the most known and loved Miss Italy by Italians. The first miss with red hair has made its way into Italian TV, thanks to films and TV series. The series 1992, 1993, 1994 and the film “Make good dreams” stand out. Apart from the great cinematic success, Miriam has an incredible appeal on social media, where she is quoted daily by the most famous pages, being recognized by most of the public as "the most beautiful woman in Italy".
Miriam Leone
Miriam Leone was born in Catania on April 14, 1985. Already in her university years she began working for radio stations, until her famous participation, with victory, in the “Miss Italy” program. Finally, she begins her television career, first as a presenter and then as an actress. In addition to television, Miriam has a great success on social media, with 1.2 million followers on Instagram and almost 500 likes on Facebook. Miriam is very much loved by the public for her genuine content, and very far from the "influencers" that are popular on social media in this period.
Miriam and the love for Sicily
The bond between a person and his or her place of birth is an indissoluble bond. We are all linked for life to the places, flavors, smells that marked our childhood, in short, the places where we grew up. This also applies to Miriam, who constantly demonstrates her attachment to Catania and Sicily in general, including posts on Instagram, and her famous hashtag # accussì. An attachment to the earth, fully shared by italiani.it. Love for one's land is in fact one of the principles from which our project was born.
Here, then, is a success story. A girl who has cultivated her passions to win the title of Miss Italy. A moment full of joy and satisfaction but which was a starting point and not an arrival point. A real springboard for a cultured and splendid woman, who has had and continues to have a great career, always with her Sicilia in the heart!
