Tune in on Monday, 30 May at 9 pm to Telemicro (Channel 5 on Telecable) to watch three Dominicans vie for the Miss Universe title. Representing the DR is six-footer Renata Sone. But Italy is represented by DR-born Maria Teresa Francville, daughter of a Dominican mother and Italian father. This is Francville’s second time representing Italy in the Miss Universe pageant. Aruba is represented by Luisana Cicilia, whose mother is Dominican. In 2003, the Dominican Republic won its first Miss Universe title with Amelia Vega in Panama. This year, Claudia Cruz of the DR was the runner up in the Miss World pageant. See photos of the contestants at http://www.globalbeauties.com/universe/2005/gallery/PSGowns/PSGowns.htm
