No Italian woman has ever won the Miss Universe crown, but the number of semifinalists and finalists (including 1st runners-up Daniela Bianchi in 1960 and Roberta Capua in 1987) makes Italy statistically the most successful country never to have won the pageant.

Roberta Capua

From 1996 to 1998, she presented with Luciano Rispoli the Telemontecarlo's daily program Tappeto volante and, from 1995 to 1997, hosted Aspettando Beautiful, a short show on air before the famous soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, and Nonsolomoda.

From 2002 to 2004 she led other two morning shows, Unomattina, with Luca Giurato and then with Marzo Franzelli and Caterina Balivo, and S.O.S. - Unomattina, aired by Rai 1.

She came back on TV in 1992 to lead the Retequattro's program I bellissimi di Retequattro; three years later she replaced for some week Paola Barale as soubrette of the Italian version of Wheel of Fortune, named La Ruota Della Fortuna.
