Diventerà Bellissima (lit. "[Sicily] Will Become Very Beautiful") was a regionalist and conservative political party active in Sicily, Italy. The party was led by Nello Musumeci, the former President of Sicily and current Minister for Civil Protection and Marine Policies, who is also affiliated to Brothers of Italy.
The party's name was inspired by a statement about Sicily of Paolo Borsellino, an Italian judge and prosecuting magistrate killed by the Mafia in 1992.
