Dulcita Lynn Lieggi Francisco (born on May 19, 1989, in Santo Domingo) is a talented Dominican actress, model, and beauty queen. She first became the first runner-up in the Miss Dominican Republic 2012 pageant. Later, the original winner, Carola Durán, was no longer able to hold the title. Because of this, Dulcita Lieggi was given the crown. She then went on to represent the Dominican Republic in the Miss Universe 2012 competition.

Early Life and Background

Dulcita Lieggi was born in Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic. Her father came from a town called Mola di Bari in Southern Italy. Her mother was from Puerto Plata, a region in the northern part of the Dominican Republic.

Becoming Miss Dominican Republic

Dulcita Lieggi entered the Miss Dominican Republic 2012 beauty contest. She represented the Distrito Nacional, which is the capital province. There were 37 young women competing from all over the country.

The contest was shown live from Santo Domingo on April 17, 2012. Dulcita was named the first runner-up. This meant she earned the chance to represent the Dominican Republic in another contest, Miss Continente Americano 2012.

A week after the contest, on April 24, 2012, the first-place winner, Carola Durán, was no longer Miss Dominican Republic. Because of this, Dulcita Lieggi received the title of Miss Dominican Republic 2012.

After becoming Miss Dominican Republic, Dulcita Lieggi traveled to Las Vegas, USA. There, she competed in the Miss Universe 2012 pageant. This is a very big international beauty contest. While she did her best, Dulcita did not make it into the top 16 finalists at Miss Universe 2012.
