En 1958 , Domenico Modugno terminó tercero con la canción "Nel blu, dipinto di blu". Renombrada como " Volare ", la canción se convirtió en un gran éxito internacional, alcanzando el puesto número uno en Estados Unidos y ganando dos premios Grammy en su primera edición . Emilio Pericoli también terminó tercero en 1963 , antes de que Italia ganara por primera vez en 1964 con Gigliola Cinquetti y " Non ho l'età ". Cinquetti regresó al concurso en 1974 y terminó segundo con la canción " Sì ", perdiendo ante ABBA . Italia luego terminó tercero en 1975 con Wess y Dori Ghezzi y la canción " Era ". El mejor resultado del país en la década de 1980 fue Umberto Tozzi y Raf, que terminaron terceros en 1987 . La segunda victoria de Italia en el concurso llegó en 1990 con Toto Cutugno y la canción " Insieme: 1992 ". Otros buenos resultados de la década de 1990 fueron Mia Martini en 1992 y Jalisse en 1997 , quienes terminaron cuartos. Después de 1997, Italia se retiró de la competición.
El 31 de diciembre de 2010, la UER anunció que Italia volvería al concurso como parte de los "Cinco Grandes", lo que significa que se clasificó automáticamente para la final. [2] El regreso de Italia al concurso ha demostrado ser un éxito, terminando entre los diez primeros en ocho de los últimos diez concursos (2011-21), incluidos los segundos lugares para Raphael Gualazzi ( 2011 ) y Mahmood ( 2019 ), y el tercer lugar para Il Volo ( 2015 ). Il Volo ganó el televoto, recibiendo votos de todos los países, pero quedó sexto con los jurados. Desde la introducción del sistema de votación 50/50 en 2009, esta fue la primera vez que el ganador de la votación de los espectadores no ganó el concurso. Italia logró su tercera victoria en el concurso en 2021 , con la banda de rock Måneskin y la canción " Zitti e buoni ".
Historia
Absences
Italy has withdrawn from the Eurovision Song Contest a number of times. The first withdrawal was in 1981, when RAI stated that interest had diminished in the country.[3] This absence continued through the following year, before Italy returned in 1983. Italy again withdrew in 1986 when RAI decided not to enter the contest.[citation needed] From 1994 to 1996 Italy withdrew again, with RAI citing a lack of interest in participating. Italy returned in 1997, before withdrawing again without explanation, and the country did not participate again until 2011.[4]
None of the Eurovision winning songs were particularly successful in the Italian charts. "Non ho l'età" by Gigliola Cinquetti (Grand Prix 1964) was a hit in February 1964 when the song won the Sanremo festival, but according to the official "Hit Parade Italia" website, "Waterloo", "Ding-A-Dong", "Puppet on a String", "Save Your Kisses for Me" and even Italy's own winning entry of 1990, "Insieme: 1992", all failed to enter the top ten of the records sales charts. Two notable exceptions to this rule were, however, the 1984 entry "I treni di Tozeur" by Alice and Franco Battiato which shared 5th position in the final but still became a #3 hit in Italy and was also placed at #20 on the chart of the best-selling singles in Italy of 1984, and the most recent Italian winning song ,"Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin, which reached #2 in the Italian Singles Chart.[citation needed]
TV censorship of the Eurovision Song Contest 1974
Italy refused to broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 on RAI because of a song sung by Gigliola Cinquetti which coincided with the intense political campaigning for the 1974 Italian referendum on divorce which was held a month later in May. Despite the Eurovision contest's taking place more than a month before the planned vote, Italian censors refused to allow the contest and song to be shown or heard. RAI censors felt that the song, which was titled "Sì" (Yes), and which contained lyrics[5] constantly repeating the aforementioned word could be accused of being subliminal messaging and a form of propaganda to influence the Italian voting public to vote 'yes' in the referendum ('yes' to repeal the law that allowed divorce). The song thus remained censored on most Italian state TV and radio stations for over a month. At the contest in Brighton, Cinquetti finished second, losing to ABBA. "Sì" went on to be a UK top ten hit, peaking at number eight. It also reached the German top 20.[citation needed]
A new interest?
However, in 2008 two noted Italian musicians, Vince Tempera (who was the conductor for Malta in 1975 and had helped San Marino take part in the ESC in 2008) and Eurovision winner Toto Cutugno expressed their sorrow at Italy's non-participation and called for the country to return to the contest.[6][7]
Contestants from the 2008 contest, starting with the winner Dima Bilan appeared on the Italian show Carramba! Che fortuna, hosted by Raffaella Carrà on Rai Uno. Whether this was an initiative by Carrà (who presented three shows in TVE concerning the event) to try to bring Eurovision back to Italy is not clear, but Sietse Bakker, Manager Communications & PR of the Eurovision Song Contest, reiterated that "Italy is still very much welcome to take part in the competition."[8][9]
Shortly after revealing the list of participants for the 2009 Contest the EBU announced that, for the 2010 Contest, they would work harder to bring Italy back into the contest, along with former participants Monaco and Austria.[10]
Successful return to the contest
At a press conference presenting the fourth edition of the Italian X Factor, Rai 2 director Massimo Liofredi announced that the winner of the competition might advance to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest, rather than participate in the Sanremo Festival, as in previous years. On 2 December 2010, it was officially announced by the Eurovision Song Contest official website that Italy had applied to compete in the 2011 Contest.[11] Their participation was further confirmed on 31 December with the announcement of the official participant list.[2]
Italy's return to the contest after a 14-year absence has been successful, finishing in the top ten in eight of the last ten contests (2011–2021). In 2011, Raphael Gualazzi finished second, Italy's best result since 1990, along with Mahmood's "Soldi" in 2019. Italy actually came first with the jury vote, but only 11th in the televote to place second overall behind winners Azerbaijan. Nina Zilli in 2012 and Marco Mengoni in 2013 were able to achieve a top 10 position (9th and 7th respectively); the latter, gathered 126 points, exactly doubling the sum of the other Big. This trend had a stop when Emma Marrone, selected internally, ended in 21st place, worst position ever of an Italian entry. In 2015, winners of Sanremo Il Volo finished third with 292 points, behind Sweden and Russia. Italy placed first in the televote with 366 points, but sixth in the jury vote. Since the introduction of the 50/50 split vote voting system, this was the first time that the winner of the televote did not win the contest. Francesca Michielin, selected among competitors of 2016 Sanremo Festival after the waiver of the winners Stadio, ended in 16th place. Francesco Gabbani, a fan favourite with "Occidentali's Karma", earned a 6th place in 2017. The year after, although not initially a big favourite with the bookies, Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro returned Italy to the top 5 with "Non mi avete fatto niente" aided significantly by finishing third in the televote, which heavily counterbalanced the 17th place of the jury, finishing fifth overall. In 2019, Mahmood placed second with 472 points, Italy's best result since 2011, until Måneskin won the contest in 2021 with 524 points, just 25 points ahead of runner-up France.
The video for "Occidentali's Karma" by Francesco Gabbani is the first Eurovision song to reach more than 200 million views on YouTube, while "Soldi" by Mahmood is the second most-streamed Eurovision song on Spotify.[12][13][14]
El regreso de Italia y los "Cinco Grandes"
Since 2000, four countries - the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain - have automatically qualified for the final of the Contest regardless of their positions on the scoreboard in previous contests.[15] They earned this status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU. Owing to their untouchable status in the Contest, these countries became known as the "Big Four". Executive Supervisor of the Contest Svante Stockselius told reporters in a meeting with OGAE Serbia that, if Italy were to return to the contest in the future, the country would also qualify automatically for the finals, becoming part of a "Big Five".[16][17] However, with the official announcement of the return of Italy, it was not confirmed whether the country would compete in one of the two semi-finals or whether it would be part of the "Big Five", as RAI, third largest contributor to the EBU, had not applied to be a member of "Big Five".[18] On December 31, it was announced that Italy would take part in of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and confirmed that the country would thereby automatically qualify for the final in Germany as part of the "Big Five".[2]
