34 year old Marco Mengoni won the 2023 and 73rd edition of prestigious Italian competition Sanremo in Italy, and is set to represent his country in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest next May in Liverpool.

Last night’s show ended with the fifth night of the competition, crowning the already recognisable face as the winner of Sanremo. 

Mengoni had risen to fame in 2009 after winning the third season of X-Factor, going on to sell over 2.8 million records in Italy. In 2020, Mengoni competed with Credimi ancora, placing third. 

However, Mengoni made a comeback three years later, winning with L’essenziale and representing his country at the Eurovision Song Contest. This time around, Mengoni won with his song Due Vite.

Towards the end of the night, co-host Amadeus read out a letter from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, followed by a performance by Antytila, a Ukrainian rock band which grew popular across Europe after the war broke out. The Eurovision was set to take place in the country but, given the advent of the war, was moved to take place in the UK. 

This comes just a few hours after Malta announced its winner and representative for the local edition of Eurovision, with this being The Busker.
