LAST NEWS (from TELEVIDEO RAI 7 Sept.):
La Miss Italia '96 è Denny Mendez, la ragazza di colore che aveva già vinto
il titolo di Miss Cinema. La ragazza è originaria di Santo Domingo. La
sua presenza alle finali di Salsomaggiore ha provocato polemiche tra i
giurati, esclusioni e ripensamenti sul fatto che una ragazza dalla pelle
scura possa rappresentare i canoni di "italianità". Diciotto anni
compiuti, Danny è alta 1.79 m. Sogna di diventare indossatrice o di
lavorare in televisione. Oltre il titolo di Miss Italia vince 170 milioni
in contratti di lavoro. La diretta su RAIUNO è stata seguita da 10 milioni
e 700mila spettatori pari al 55.5 % dell'ascolto.
Summary: Polemics in Italy after the election as Miss Italy of a black
girl, not considered representative of the "italianity" canons.

LETTER from TIME n.17, Oct. 21, 1996:
A Black Miss Italy.
The woman chosen Miss Italy should have Italian roots, ¡talian patterns;
simply to be an Italian citizen is not enogh [Sept. 23]. It is not a
matter of skin color; she has to be Italian through and through, and not
just on paper. What has happened here is reverse racism against Italian
folks who have few rights in their own country. C.R., Italy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's TRUE! The Miss Italy must have Italian roots. But what has to be
changed is the Regulament of the beauty competition. In fact it has
permitted the election of a girl with Italian citizenship and living in
Italy, but born in S. Domingo and doughter of non-italian parents!
G.Alfani, Roma, Italy.
