Mahmood & Blanco have won the 72nd Festival di Sanremo with their song 'Brividi' and with it the opportunity to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest on home soil in Turin.
This will be Mahmood’s second Eurovision appearance having already represented Italy with his song Soldi in 2019, finishing second in Tel Aviv.
Finishing in 3rd place at Sanremo was Gianni Morandi who, like Mahmood, has also represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest once before… he came 8th in 1970 with the song Occhi di Ragazza.
