Which Disney princess is Italian?

I would add more countries that are represented through the princesses. I agree with Aurora being Italian, but we never seem to know what the Disney princesses'cultures are.

Technically, there is no official member of the "Disney Princess" franchise who is confirmed to be of Italian heritage or from a kingdom explicitly located in Italy. However, the character Giulia Marcovaldo from the 2021 Pixar film Luca is a prominent Italian heroine who lives in the fictional seaside town of Portorosso on the Italian Riviera. While she is not part of the official marketing line of Disney Princesses, she embodies many of the same traits, such as bravery, curiosity, and a strong sense of self. Many fans also point to Pinocchio’s Blue Fairy, as the original story by Carlo Collodi is Italian, though she is considered a magical being rather than a princess. In the 2026 landscape of Disney media, there has been a significant push for more diverse representation, but the classic lineup—featuring characters like Belle (French), Snow White (German), and Tiana (American)—has yet to include a protagonist from an Italian royal lineage. Consequently, Italian fans often look to Giulia as their unofficial representative in the Disney-Pixar universe.
