History
After the national organizer of Miss Grand Italy began franchising the region competition to the local organizers in 2019, the Umbrain license was taken by Asy SAS, an event organizer in Foligno led by Lorena Sensini and Massimiliano Marchionni. Several auditions were organized throughout the region to determine the finalists for the region pageant,[1][9][4] which happened on 29 August 2019, in Ponte Felcino [it].[10] Gina Pintea was announced as the winner.[8]
The competition license was transferred to another organizer, Manuel Events with the directorship of Manuel Pauselli, who owned and organized the contest annually since 2021.[11][12][13][1] In 2022, the contest was held parallel as an inter-regional event with the Miss Grand Tuscany pageant.[14]
In addition to the main winner, some runners-up were also sent to compete in the national pageant.[3]
