Welcome to London
"Gothic Grandeur by the River"
Vibrant and noisy, London is one of the world’s leading cities, an international capital of culture, education, fashion, music, finance, trade, and politics. This enormous city is divided into 32 boroughs, each one offering a distinct vibe and flavor to visitors from around the world. London has one of the most comprehensive public transportation systems in the world, and the popular Tube, trains, and buses service most tours. The city features countless attractions to suit every taste and budget, but its main appeal may very well be its extraordinary diverse things to do. Take just a short walk through any part of London, and you’ll be left with the impression that the whole world has come to town. As writer Samuel Johnson famously said, "When one is tired of London, one is tired of life." Whether you’re looking for ancient history, modern art, shopping, or the frenetic energy of underground raves, London truly has an itinerary for everyone.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Italy, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Brazil, Finland, France and Turkey
Countries receiving points from most juries / Denmark, 17
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Belgium in 4th place with 10 points from Argentina and Sweden as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Croatia in 23rd place getting 12 points from Mexico
Eight countries took the lead at some point during the voting procedures, but in the end it was Italy who stood the tallest to claim their first gold medal. In a not so distant runner-up position, Denmark took home the silver, while the bronze was sent to Germany - their second in a row. Belgium and Spain rounded out the top 5. Interestingly, the top 10 was made up intirely of European nations.
Italy debuted in GM08 and had a bumpy start in the contest. During their first 13 participations, Italy had 5 different HoDs, and the lack of consistency lead to dismal results and only once did Italy end up in the top 10. After a short break, Italy returned with their 6th HoD, Krikor, just last edition, and immediately achieved their best result, winning the silver medal with Laura Pausini. And the very next edition, Nek takes the last step up the podium to claim Italy's first gold medal. Well done Italy, Nek and Krikor!
