Verbania, July 26, 2026 — The lakeside town of Verbania played host yesterday to the regional final of Miss Italia Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta 2026, a day-long celebration of beauty, culture, and territory that wound through some of the area’s most iconic settings before closing with a sold-out finale on the main stage in Pallanza.
Nearly 30 candidates from across the region took part in the event, which began with visits to the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto, continued through the streets of Intra, and paused at Villa Giulia before the crowning moment on the lungolago stage in front of a full crowd — the event, though free of charge, drew an audience that filled every available space.
At the end of the evening, Arianna Risso was crowned Miss Framesi 2026, one of the night’s most anticipated titles.
The stage was guided by a trio of hosts: Francesca Spinelli, Miss Piemonte 2024, Alicya Ferrero, Miss Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta 2025, and Andrea Beltramo, who together kept the energy high through hours of presentations.
The event was organized under the direction of Mirella Rocca, manager and coordinator of Miss Italia Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta, with accreditation and logistics coordinated by Eventi Green Agency, represented by Alessandro Patruno, also commercial referent for Miss Italia Piemonte.
NDV Media was on the ground throughout the day as accredited photographer, covering every stage of the event from the morning visits to the final crowning.
A special thank you goes to the Comune di Verbania, and to Mayor Giandomenico Albertella, for their hospitality and support in making the region’s most beautiful locations the backdrop for this year’s edition — turning Villa Taranto, Intra, and Villa Giulia into a true stage for Piedmont’s beauty pageant scene.
