BIRTHDAY: Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 59 today From Italy Minor to Italy major in 24 hours. Talk about convenience, even though if it’s your birthday in these countries, it’s likely you’ll be having a small celebration. Stay safe, people. Our friends in Italy have at times had […]

BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Moro from Italy is 45 today If you could put money on the next country of the Big Five to win, who would you pick? Germany was the last of them to win, but that was a long time ago now. But that leaves Spain, France, […]
BIRTHDAY: Emma Marrone from Italy is 36 today Our friends in Italy have done fairly well since they can back from exile. Seven top 10 finishes in their last nine attempts, including two runner-up spots. Which other of the Big Five can boast that record? Of course, for […]
BIRTHDAY: Tonina Torrielli from Italy is 86 today Even though we were looking forward to a riotous cavalcade of quality song in Rotterdam in May, looking at the present isn’t what we always do here. It’s good to look at the past. After all, there were contests in […]

BIRTHDAY: Nina Zilli from Italy is 40 today Can Italy get a third win this decade? Since they came back to the party in 2011, they’ve had – arguably – the most consistent record of the Big Five. Some say Italy could win whenever they want, but they […]

BIRTHDAY: Iva Zanicchi from Italy is 80 today Certain contests are known for more than just the songs. It could be a stage invasion, someone falling over when trying to present a trophy. Or it could be something that rules didn’t expect. In 1969, four countries tied for […]
