Miss Eleganza Piedmont Regional Final

An evening of elegance on the shores of Lake Maggiore

The Miss Eleganza Piedmont Regional Final is one of the most picturesque summer events in Cannobio, an elegant village in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola overlooking Lake Maggiore. The event takes place in the heart of the town, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III, where the catwalk is set up against the historic colorful facades reflected in the water, creating one of the most charming backdrops in Piedmont.

A stage of the Miss Italia circuit

Miss Eleganza is one of the official titles of the Miss Italia pageant: the winner of the regional final earns a title that allows her to advance to the national pre-finals, the step preceding the grand finale of Italy's most famous beauty contest. For this reason, the evening in Cannobio is not just a local parade, but a true regional selection that attracts contestants from all over Piedmont, from large cities like Turin to the smaller towns of the region.

How the evening unfolds

Throughout the evening, the contestants introduce themselves to the public and the jury through various catwalk appearances, ranging from elegant evening wear to more informal attire, while the host guides the competition through to the final announcement. Between appearances, there are musical interludes and entertainment that bring the square to life, accompanying one of the most popular nights of the Cannobio summer for residents, tourists, and lake vacationers alike.

Cannobio, the village hosting the pageant

The choice of Cannobio as the venue for the regional final is no coincidence: the lakefront, the medieval historic center, and the intimate atmosphere of the village provide the ideal backdrop for an event that combines fashion, entertainment, and tourism. The event is organized with the support of the Pro Loco of Cannobio and the City of Cannobio, which have included the pageant in the town's rich summer program for years.

A free event open to everyone

Admission to the evening is free and open to all: the square fills with spectators who watch the competition outdoors in one of the most photographed settings in the Verbano area. For those spending their holidays on Lake Maggiore, it is the perfect opportunity to enjoy an evening of entertainment in the heart of one of Piedmont's most beloved villages.
