ITALY: SANREMO WINNER AGAIN TO EUROVISION

Claudio Baglioni has taken over from Carlo Conti and quite a few things in Sanremo will change, but not the link to Eurovision. The rules again say the winner of the Big category is the first choice for Eurovision song contest for Italy, if he/she/they only want to. So far the only one not accepting the job has been Stadio, who gladly handed the opportunity to runner up Francesca Michielin.
