Eurovision Ireland’s countdown to the 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in Madrid, continues today. This year, our countdown will look at the top Acts to ‘Bloom’ for the Participating Countries past and present, while we will also look at the top five Acts to ‘Bloom’ from all the previous Contests.

Today we are looking at this year’s participating country of Italy. They have made the #Top3 a total of two times so far. The two Italian Acts to ‘Bloom’ within the #Top3 were:

2014: Vincenzo Cantiello, “Tu primo grande amore” (1st place, 159 points)

2016: Fiamma Boccia, “Cara mamma (Dear Mom)” (3rd place, 209 points)

2024: Simone Grande, “Pigiama party”

Can Simone Grande take Italy to another #Top3 position or even their second victory? We will find out on Saturday 16th November.
