Mother of two crowned Italy’s Miss Mamma

Monica Pignataro, from Casoria in Naples, won the competition on Sunday against 24 other hopeful mothers.

She was crowned after singing a song with her two children and will now be featured in the annual calendar.

Pignataro and the other finalists, aged 25 to 45, paraded in swimsuits and other outfits to determine who deserved to be named the national winner.
