Miss Italia 2026 announces finalists and regional updates

The Miss Italia 2026 competition has announced its 40 Academy finalists and provided updates regarding the regional contestants. The final event is scheduled for September 21 at the Castello di Santa Severa.

Due to an accident occurring just before the national semi-finals in Rome, Rosaria Pino, the 21-year-old winner of the Miss Bellezza Mediterranea Campania 2026 title, was forced to withdraw from the competition. Ilaria Lamberti, 20, from Monte di Procida, has stepped in to represent the Campania region in her place.

The official list of 40 finalists includes contestants from various regions, such as Giorgia D’Incecco from Abruzzo, Miriam Baldassarre from Basilicata, and Sara Genova and Mariarosaria Sapia from Calabria.
