Miss Italia, the famous beauty contest now in its 81st edition, radically changes its face. It does so in the final today, Monday 14 December, which will be broadcast in streaming on the digital channels of the event, on the website, Facebook and Youtube, starting at 16 pm. There are many news introduced this year, probably dictated by the pandemic, but not only. There is a need on the part of the organizers to move away from the ancient concept of woman as an object, which has always characterized beauty contests. More than the body, this edition aims to focus on the mind and the ego. And it is not a small thing.
There will be no swimsuit parade
Miss Italia is renewed and offers us an edition that is a real revolution. The girls will not parade in costumes, but will wear dresses made to pay homage to fashion. There will be no TV and televoting, nor the usual speeches on world peace. Patricia Mirigliani, patron of the competition, in compliance with the emergency situation linked to the coronavirus, said "no" to the classic show on the catwalk. In addition, to remove the event from the stereotypes linked to the concept of woman as an object, it has decided to focus the selection on an interview between the participants and the examining jury.
The misses will focus on dialogue with the jurors
Miss Italia 2020 asks the candidates in the competition to tell about themselves, to reflect on the difficult period the world is experiencing, to represent beauty in the most complete sense of the term. During the interview with the jurors, the girls will have to demonstrate that they have a good dialectic, ease, but also a good dose of sensitivity and sweetness. In short, they will have to fully demonstrate their femininity.
The explanation of Patrizia Mirigliani
The choice to change the face of Miss Italy was thus explained by Patrizia Mirigliani herself, on her social media accounts. "We will not parade on the catwalk - he declared - as usual to show our beauty, which in any case we do not intend to keep hidden, but we will emphasize all our strength, we will give space to the individuality of each of our girls, their dreams, their aspirations and also to their weaknesses, because from there the courage to face the life of a woman ".
Miss Italia 2020, an edition without entertainment
Miss Italia 2020 therefore proposes itself in a new guise, following the example of Miss America, won this year by a 24-year-old biochemist. The finalists, representing all Italian regions, are 23, aged between 18 and 28 years. The 81st edition of the well-known competition will take place in Rome at the 'Spazio Rossellini' of the Multidisciplinary Cultural Center of the Lazio Region. Precisely for safety reasons, there will be neither the public nor moments of entertainment.
Alessandro Greco presents the event
Miss Italia 2020 will be presented by Alessandro Greco, flanked by Margherita Praticò. The jury, chaired by the actor Paolo Conticini, will choose the winner, who will take over from Carolina Stramare, crowned last year. Alongside Conticini, there will be: Manila Nazzaro, Miss Italy 1999; the well-known criminologist Roberta Buzzone; the Akash Kumar model; the photographer Tiziana Luxardo; the doctor Raoul D'Alessio; the psychotherapist Maddalena Cialdella.
