A unique example of this has appeared in Italy where a 379 pound (172 kg) Naples girl won the Miss Chubby Beauty Contest in Pisa last week. The Miss Cicciona contest, which featured 30 full-figured women, was held in Tuscany village of Forcoli near Pisa on Saturday. Upon winning the title, the 33-year-old Angela Scognamiglio said that she was very excited and felt as if she had won the lottery. The participants, who were required to weigh more than 220 lbs (100 kgs), paraded in front of 2,500 people at a local hotel on Saturday night. Some of them were in gowns, while others who dared to show more, were in undergarments. There was no big prize for the winner as she shared only a huge cake with fellow contestants. Most of the contestants claimed to have been the victims of severe discrimination. Antonia Bartolo, a 37-year-old nurse from the Milan region, said that people treat them, as they were second class citizens, while another contestant Marilena Amato shared similar views. She said whenever she got on a bus, people whisper and make fun of her. However, contest's founder, Gianfranco Lazzereschi, said that he organized the show for full figures – the more round they are more chances of winning the title.
