Italy: Marco Mengoni picks "L’Essenziale"!

Today is the deadline where all entries must be send into the EBU and Italy is the last country to announce theirs. Thankfully, it will indeed be L’Essenziale - which he won Sanremo with a month ago.

It will all be official later but OGAE Italy confirmed that this will be his song for Malmo! A true masterpiece!  I'm really pleased they opted for this one and not just an album filler. Later today, the Head of Delegation meeting will take place in Malmo where several more details on the contest are expected to be announced. It was also confirmed yesterday that the Moldovan entry will be sung in Romania and not English... Weird decision but surely a great one!

Here's Italy... ^^
