Marco Mengoni will represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest. He is in his second participation after that of 2013 with L'Essenziale.
"Music in its own way is a means of peace and love and being united here still means sending a message of peace. I am against any war going on in the world," he says. The Italian singer has chosen the art of Yoann Borgeois, international artist and acrobat. He has collaborated with Harry Styles, with Pink!, and with Coldplay.
