Other Miss Italia California prizes included a spot in the popular Gene Hiller Holiday Fashion Show. This honor was given to Katerine Lucchesse (pictured above). Another lucky contestant was given an opportunity to secure a modeling contract with San Francisco show sponsor, Stars Model Management. The tuff decision caused a surprise delay in announcing the winners. In the end former runner up Antonia Longo crowned the beautiful Jennifer Consalvi Miss Italia California 2010.
Some San Francisco figures on the judge’s panel included Director of Runway at the awarding Stars Model Management, Amber Jones Ritchie, KRON4 TV’s, Richard Di Pilla, Fashion & Fundraiser Producer, Charleston Pierce, Dr. Tancredi D’Amore and Consul General of San Francisco's Italian Consulate, Marcello Curci. The effervescent Terilyn Joe was spotted in the crowd. She looked lovely as always providing the unofficial commentary on the night.
