Miss Grand Umbria is an Italian regional female beauty pageant, founded in 2019 by a Foligno-based event organizer, Asy SAS, led by Lorena Sensini and Massimiliano Marchionni. The winners of the contest represent the region of Umbria in the Miss Grand Italy national pageant.
The region of Umbria has not yet won the Miss Grand Italy title. The highest placement reached by its representatives was the top 5 finalists, won in 2019 by Gina Pintea.
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, which happened on 29 August 2019, in Ponte Felcino. Gina Pintea was announced as the winner.
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. In 2022, the contest was held parallel as an inter-regional event with the Miss Grand Tuscany pageant.
In addition to the main winner, some runners-up were also sent to compete in the national pageant.
