Glelany Cavalcante, born in Feira de Santana, Bahia, is running for Miss Italy 2024 and can become the representative of the European country in miss Universe, if they win the national title.
At 30 years old, Glelany, who has lived in Italy for nine years, holds Italian citizenship and brings with her the expectation of being the first Brazilian to win the competition.

In addition to the search for the crown, the model reveals her desire to promote her social project: “I can't wait to present the beautiful social project that I created and that I will soon share with you.”
