Jessica Cecchini (born
March 3, 1990 in Borgosesia, Piemonte, Italy) is the winner of the Miss
Universo Italia 2010 pageant that was held at the Teatro Antico
Greco-Romano in Taormina, Sicilia on July 1, 2010. For the first time
ever, the pageant streamed via webcast worldwide on twww.tv. Jessica
beat out 27 other contestants and won the right to represent Italy at
the Miss Universe 2010 pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she failed to
advance to the Top 15. No Italian woman has ever won the Miss Universe
crown, but the number of semifinalists and finalists (including 1st
runners-up Daniela Bianchi in 1960 and Roberta Capua in 1987) makes
Italy statistically the most successful country never to have won the
pageant.
Jessica
stands 5 ft 10 in (1.77m) and she's a Pisces. She's a student at the
Istituto Tecnico Salute Individuale and she enjoys music and volleyball.
Her dream is to someday work in the fashion industry or in show
business.
