The choice, shared by Patrizia Mirigliani and strongly supported by Fioretta Mari, stems from the desire not to exclude girls who have shown particularly significant personality, talent, and potential.
The final presents a complex geography: Lazio, Tuscany, and Emilia-Romagna each bring three contestants, Piedmont two, while Calabria, Campania, Liguria, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Veneto are represented by one finalist each.
Regions with a long tradition in the competition remain outside the final phase, including Abruzzo, Basilicata, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Apulia, Sardinia, Sicily, Umbria, and Aosta Valley.
