María Antonieta Cámpoli
María Antonieta Cámpoli Prisco (born October 9, 1955 in Italy) is an Italian-Venezuelan beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Venezuela 1972. Biography Maria Antonietta Cámpoli was born in Isola del Liri (an ancient city of Latium, located nearly 100 km south of Rome) in 1955, but after 3 years her family moved to live in Caracas where she grew. At the age of just 17 she was elected Miss Venezuela. But there was a huge scandal when her age was officially known, because by law she was not allowed to participate being less than 18 years old ("menor de edad") and additionally she was not born in Venezuela. It was the president Rafael Caldera who allowed her to maintain the title arguing even that she was "Venezuelan by birth", because she had moved to Venezuela when she was less than five years old. She later went to Puerto Rico as Miss Venezuela in the ''Miss Universe'' of the same year. She is the Miss Venezuela titleholder for 1972, and was the official represen ...

Miss Venezuela Winners
Miss (pronounced ) is an English-language honorific typically used for a girl, for an unmarried woman (when not using another title such as "Doctor" or "Dame"), or for a married woman retaining her maiden name. Originating in the 17th century, it is a contraction of ''mistress''. The plural of ''Miss'' is ''Misses'' or occasionally ''Mses''. History Origins Like '' Ms'' and ''Mrs'', ''Miss'' has its roots in the title ''Mistress''. ''Miss'' was originally a title given primarily to children rather than adults. During the 1700s, its usage broadened to encompass adult women. The title emerged as a polite way to address women, reflecting changing societal norms and class distinctions. Prior to this, referring to an adult woman as a ''Miss'' might have carried connotations of prostitution. Evolution of meanings and usage The meanings of both ''Miss'' and ''Mrs'' underwent transformations over time. Historically, these titles did not solely indicate marital status. Even after t ...
