Miss Italia Mustn't Die is an upcoming 2025 Netflix Italian documentary film directed by Pietro Daviddi and David Gallerano. The film follows Patrizia Mirigliani, daughter of the pageant's founder, as she strives to preserve the legacy of the 85-year-old competition in the face of declining relevance, public criticism, and shifting beauty standards.[1]

Synopsis

[edit]

The documentary explores the turbulent evolution of the Miss Italia beauty pageant, one of Italy’s longest-running cultural institutions. It follows as Mirigliani navigates the pageant through a period of intense social scrutiny and public reevaluation. As beauty contests worldwide face criticism for perpetuating outdated ideals, the film examines the efforts to modernize Miss Italia—removing swimsuit segments, promoting diversity among contestants, and embracing digital platforms after being dropped by national television.

It blends historical footage with present-day interviews featuring former contestants, journalists, cultural critics, and Mirigliani herself. Through these perspectives, it highlights the tensions between upholding tradition and addressing evolving conversations around gender, feminism, and body image.
