Italy made their debut in GM08 and reached the top 10 for the first time only 2 editions later. After that Italy struggled to make a dent in the scoreboard, but following a short break, they came back stronger than ever, winning 3 consecutive medals including their first victory in GM27, when Nek triumphed. Since then In-Grid took home the gold medal in GM55 and Giorgia did it in GM74 followed by Elisa as recently as GM122, and now Alessio Bernabei becomes the 5th Italian champion. Italy has now taken part 108 times. They have been to 87 finals, reaching the top 10 in 38 of those and winning a total of 15 medals! This gold medal is the 4th for Raquel, who took over the Italian delegation back in GM38. Well done Italy, Alessio and Raquel!
