Background

Prior to the 2017 contest, Italy had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-two times since its first entry during the inaugural contest in 1956. [1] Since then, Italy has won the contest on two occasions: in 1964 with the song "Non ho l'età" performed by Gigliola Cinquetti and in 1990 with the song "Insieme: 1992" performed by Toto Cutugno. Italy has withdrawn from the Eurovision Song Contest a number of times with their most recent absence spanning from 1998 until 2010. Their return in 2011 with the song "Madness of Love", performed by Raphael Gualazzi, placed second—their highest result, to this point, since their victory in 1990. In 2016, Francesca Michielin represented the nation with the song "No Degree of Separation", placing sixteenth with 124 points.

The Italian national broadcaster, Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), broadcasts the event within Italy and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. RAI confirmed Italy's participation in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest on 16 September 2016. [2] Between 2011 and 2013, the broadcaster used the Sanremo Music Festival as an artist selection pool where a special committee would select one of the competing artist, independent of the results in the competition, as the Eurovision entrant. The selected entrant was then responsible for selecting the song they would compete with. For 2014, RAI forwent using the Sanremo Music Festival artist lineup and internally selected their entry. Since 2015, the winning artist of the Sanremo Music Festival is rewarded with the opportunity to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest, although in 2016 the winner declined and the broadcaster appointed the runner-up as the Italian entrant.

For the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, this selection would be made from the artists competing in the Big Artists category of the 67th Sanremo. [3] As outlined, the festival's rules gave the winner of this category the first right of refusal to represent Italy at Eurovision.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2017 was held at the International Exhibition Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine, featuring two semi-finals on 9 and 11 May, followed by the grand final on 13 May 2017. [11] Eurovision rules stipulate that all participating countries, except the host nation and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), must qualify from one of the semi-finals to enter the final. The top ten performers from each semi-final are chosen to compete in the final. As a "Big Five" member, Italy automatically qualified for the final, bypassing the semi-final rounds. However, Italy was still obligated to broadcast and vote in the first semi-final.

To organize the voting process and minimize geopolitical voting biases, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) divided the competing countries into six different pots. These pots were determined based on historical voting patterns, grouping countries with similar voting records together. This system aims to ensure a fair and diverse distribution of voting preferences among the participating nations. [12]
