 IntroductionThe Italian music festival “San Remo Festival” had its 65th anniversary in 2015. It is one of the most important TV shows in the Italian television. The viewing figures (12 mio.) have been increasing thanks to the presenter Carlo Conti and his assistants Arisa and Emma Marrone, who represented Italy last year in Copenhagen with "La Mia Città". There are various categories like newcomers or established where there are different prices to win. The winner of this contest was the trio Il Volo, who has received 39% of the votings (expert jury 30%, demoscopic jury 30% and televoting 40%) with opera-pop song “Grande Amore”, the outstanding performance of these three young singers has convinced in all aspects. The show was full of popular singers like Nek, who came second, Nina Zilli, Lara Fabian, Raf and some more. The three singers are Piero Barone, born in Agrigento, Sicily 1993; Ignazio Boschetto, born in Bologna 1994 and Gianluca Ginoble, born in Atri, Abruzzo 1995. The trio had its breakthrough the Italian TV show “Ti Lacscio Una Canzone” and The Three Tenors Plácido Doming, José Carreras and Luciana Pavarotti served as model for Il Volo. Their first album has been recorded in the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. The popularity of this trio has been leveraged by a storm. Even if there are many tenor groups, Il Volo made it to America with their opera-pop music in the Billboard charts for. They have toured and performed all over the world and even had a guest appearance at Barbra Streisand’s concert. They have been singing at the Nobel Price Concert in Oslo 2012 and received many awards. It’s great to see that Italy is sending the San Remo winner as a representative to Vienna this year. They have no need to participate in the ESC, but on the other hand it’s a privilege to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest with an opera-pop song. “Grande Amore” is a dramatic song, sung with full passion and emotion by these talented young guys. The bombastically produced song will definitely impress the over 100 million TV spectators all over Europe and beyond. Having these popular singers in the Grand Final of the ESC is a real additional benefit for the whole event. It all depends on the competitors, but this will definitely score very well. Buena scelta, Italia!
