Internal selection



Artist selection


On 16 January 2012, RAI confirmed that the performer that would represent Italy in Baku would be announced during the final evening of Sanremo Music Festival 2012.[3] The artist selection was exclusive from the actual Sanremo Music Festival competition and the results of that competition were not relevant to which artist would ultimately represent Italy. All competing artists in the competition were considered by a special committee formed to select the most suitable performer for Eurovision.[3]


The competing artists were:[3]



  • "Big Artists" Category:

    • Arisa, Chiara Civello, Dolcenera, Emma Marrone, Eugenio Finardi, Francesco Renga, Gigi D'Alessio & Loredana Bertè, Irene Fornaciari, Marlene Kuntz, Matia Bazar, Nina Zilli, Noemi, Pierdavide Carone & Lucio Dalla and Samuele Bersani.


  • "Newcomers" Category:

    • Alessandro Casillo, Bidiel, Celeste Gaia, Dana Angi, Erica Mou, Giulia Anania, Io Ho Sempre Voglia and Marco Guazzone.



On 18 February 2012 during the final evening of the Sanremo Music Festival, Eurovision Song Contest 2011 winners Ell & Nikki announced that Nina Zilli would represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.[4]



Song selection


On 3 March, the song "Per sempre" was confirmed as the Italian entry.[5] However, the decision was changed on 13 March and "L'amore è femmina" was confirmed as the song Zilli would perform in Baku.[2]



At Eurovision


Italy automatically qualified to compete in the final on 26 May 2012 as part of the "Big Five". Italy was drawn to perform tenth, after France and preceding Estonia. Italy achieved 9th place with 101 points, finishing in the top ten for a second consecutive year.



Split results


  • In the Final Italy came 9th with 101 points: the televote awarded Italy 17th place with 56 points and the jury awarded 4th place with 157 points.
