Arianna Gigli is Miss Grand Prix Moto 2025: "It's a great feeling."

Osimo, September 17, 2025 - The national finalists of the pageant paraded on the stage in Piazza del Mare in Giulianova for the presentation of their finalists. They then competed on the stage in Piazza della Rinascita in Pescara for the crown held by last year's winner, Matilde Felice of Tuscany. Arianna Gigli , 19, from Osimo , is among the contenders for the title of Miss Grand Prix 2025, Miss Gran Prix Moto. This is one of the most important beauty pageants in Italy, with over 30 years of history behind it, and over the course of its various editions, it has launched some of the biggest names in the world of entertainment and television, such as Raffaella Fico, Margherita Molinari, Carlotta Maggiorana , and many others.

When did your passion for pageants begin? "I graduated this year from the scientific high school with a focus on applied sciences in Castelfidardo. My passion for pageants began three years ago when I accidentally saw an advertisement for a fashion show being held in a nearby town, and somewhat against my parents' wishes, I signed up. Initially, I didn't win any sashes, and for a year I gave up. Then, in 2023, encouraged by some friends, I decided to try again by entering another pageant, coming in fourth nationally with the "Venere Eleganza 2023" sash. In 2024, I participated in Miss Italia, reaching the national pre-finals with the title of "Miss Riviera Marche 2024." This year, I was contacted to participate in Miss Grand Prix and placed first during a selection process in San Benedetto, which allowed me to advance to the national finals in Pescara. What was it like participating? "Participating in the national finals was a wonderful experience that allowed me to make friends with the other contestants. It all took place in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and even though there was a hint of competition, it wasn't noticeable. It took place over two intense days during which we practiced, shot photos, and paraded. On the first day, we paraded in the square in Giulianova, on the second day at the Stadio del Mare in Pescara, and right there, during the final, I received the national sash from Ducati's sponsor, "Miss Grand Prix Moto 2025." When I received the sash, I was incredibly excited because I wasn't expecting it. I was also very happy because I finally had the chance to parade in wedding dresses." How are you feeling about this experience and what are your dreams for the future? "I'm enjoying this experience and full of anticipation for the opportunities this sash will give me. In the future, I hope to be able to combine my passion for fashion shows, events, and university."
