Miss Corse Vice-President Pierre-Antoine d’Orazio dies suddenly

The Miss Corse committee has announced the sudden death of its vice-president and choreographer, Pierre-Antoine d’Orazio, at the age of 47. The announcement comes only weeks before the Miss France competition.

In a statement, the organization described d’Orazio as an irreplaceable pillar of the committee who went beyond his professional duties as a choreographer to mentor candidates and share his passion for dance. His death has drawn condolences from various figures in the pageant community, including former Miss France Amandine Petit and Miss France 2025 Angélique Angarni-Filopon.

Following the news, the Ajaccio Tourism Office announced the postponement of the Ritrovu festival, originally scheduled for October 29–31, to next year to allow for a special tribute to the choreographer.
