Miss Grand Basilicata is an Italian regional female beauty pageant,[1][2][3] founded in 2019 by Dario Marena.[1][4] The winners of the contest represent the region of Basilicata in the Miss Grand Italy national pageant.[1][2][5]

Since their first participation in the Miss Grand Italy pageant, Basilicata representatives won the contest once in 2019 by Mirea Sorrentino,[6] and was placed among the top 10 finalists in 2020 with the representation of Michela Cardillo Stagno.[7]

History

After the Miss Grand Italy director, Giuseppe Puzio, began franching the regional competitions to local organizers in 2019, the license for Basilicata was granted to Dario Marena.[4] In cooperation with the director of Miss Grand Campania, Crescenzo De Carmine, the first contest of Miss Grand Basilicata was then held parallelly with Miss Grand Campania on 31 August of that year at the Centro Commerciale Liz Gallery in Montesarchio,[1][2][8] The contest featured 20 contestants, of whom, a model Mirea Sorrentino was named the Miss Grand Basilicata 2019,[1][9][10] while Erika Argenziano was elected as Miss Grand Campania.[1][10]

Several local contests and auditions were organized annually to determine the finalists for the region-level pageants.[4] In 2021 and 2023, the competition license was transferred to Canio Loguercio and Franco Capasso, respectively.[11][12]
