Francesca Bergesio, who is Miss Italy 2023 (and who is her father)
The new Miss Italia 2023 is Piedmontese, studies medicine and loves cinema.
Francesca Bergesio from Cervere, 19 years old, crowned queen on Saturday 11 November in Salsomaggiore Terme where the beauty contest returned after 13 years.
A jury composed this year of Vittorio Sgarbi, who was president, Hoara Borselli, Giuseppe Cruciani and Giulia Salemi elected her Miss Italy.
The evening will be hosted by Jo Squillo, who became famous in Sanremo in 1991 with the song We are women and is committed to the defense of women's rights.
In the Europa Hall of the Salsomaggiore Terme conference building, the Miss received the crown from Patrizia Mirigliani and from the president of the jury Sgarbi who during the evening indulged in jokes and attempts to get on stage to better "admire the beauty of the competitors” – jokes that recall one of the main criticisms leveled at beauty contests: creating beauty standards that conform to gender expression and that better please the male gaze: the male gaze.
Francesca Bergesio, who was crowned Miss Piedmont in August, said she was incredibly excited by the victory, especially thanking her mother.
But what arouses a certain curiosity is instead Miss Italy's father, a well-known politician.
