Since the foundation of the [[Miss Grand Italy]] pageant, [[Calabria]] candidates have never won the main title yet, and the placements they obtained remain unclarified due to a lack of summarized national competition results publicized by both regional and national organizers.
==History== After the Miss Grand Italy director, Giuseppe Puzio, began franchising the competition licenses to local organizers in 2019, the franchise of [[Calabria]] was then purchased by a modeling agency named Pubblistar 2000, chaired by Enzo Lamberto,<ref name=regis19/><ref name=2020cala/><ref name=2019licensee>{{cite web|url=https://www.missgrandinternationalitaly.it/2019/02/25/agente-regione-calabria/|title=Agente Regionale Calabria|date=25 February 2019|accessdate=26 May 2024|language=it|work=Miss Grand Italy|archivedate=26 May 2024|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20240526015855/https://www.missgrandinternationalitaly.it/2019/02/25/agente-regione-calabria/}}</ref> who organized the first Miss Grand Calabria pageant on 3 September 2019, at the Lungomare Hotel, Reggio Calabria.<ref name=2020cala/> Later in 2021, Lamberto lost the license to a fashion consultant Massimo Spano of Focalizza Agency.<ref name=c2021/><ref name=license2021web>{{cite web|url=https://calabriawebtv.it/guardavalle-da-il-via-alle-selezioni-di-miss-grand-italy-video/|title=Guardavalle Da'il via Alle Selezioni di Miss Grand Italy.
