The first contribution, like the interpreter, was determined internally. Italy's candidate Vincenzo Cantiello won the competition with 159 points, ahead of Bulgaria and Armenia, making him the first debutant to win the competition straight away.
In 2015, the country with the Scarpari sisters only reached the penultimate place with 34 points, in 2016 Italy came third.
