Mahmood

Italian-Egyptian rapper Mahmood won the 69th Sanremo Festival with ‘Soldi’ (Money). Ultimo ended in second place with Eurovision alumni Il Volo in third.

Announcement
‘Official’ confirmation

The Teatro Ariston audience seemed less than pleased – though this may have had something to do with sitting through a show that ran into its fifth hour. RAI revealed that of the ‘final three’  Mahmood picked up just 14% of the televote. Ultimo scored 46% and Il volo 39%.

Once again, the show was a ratings hit scoring over 56% of the TV audience, some 10.6 million viewers.

The winner of Sanremo gets first refusal on the job of singing for Italy at Eurovision. Following a press conference, the official Eurovision Song Contest Twitter account announced Mahmood will represent Italy in Tel Aviv.
