History

edit

After Miss Grand Italy's director, Giuseppe Puzio, began franchising the regional competitions to local organizers in 2019, the license for the Lazio region was granted to a local organizer, Romano Storace,[4][5] who is also the chairperson of an Colleferro-based modeling agency named RS Model Junior.[3][4] Romano organized the first edition of Miss Grand Lazio on 31 August 2019, at the Piazza Marcantonio Colonna in Paliano.[5] In 2022, the pageant was held parallelly with the Miss Grand Liguria pageant due to a lack of Ligurian region coordinator.[9][10] The contract between Romano Storace and Miss Grand Italy organizer was terminated in 2024 when the regional license was taken over by Alessandra Fattoruso.[6]

Several local auditions and pageants were organized annually regionwide to elect the final candidates for the Miss Grand Lazio pageant, such as in Montelanico[11] and Colleferro.[12]
