Italy is a country to be reckoned with in Eurovision. In addition to their latest victory with the rock band Måneskin, they can stand proud with two more victories by Gigliola Cinquetti with the song Non ho l'età in 1964 and Toto Cutugno and the song "Insieme: 1992”, 1990.
The Italian success story has been very stable since their comeback in 2011. From then Italy has managed to get in the top 10, eight times.
They also have a history of sending artists who already have a successful career in Italy. A lot of them came directly from the famous Festival Di San Remo.
