Welcome to Andorra la Vella
"perched on Europe's Pyrenees Rooftop"
Tucked high in the Pyrenees and home to fewer than 65,000 residents, Andorra la Vella seems at first an unlikely tourist hotspot. However, its shopping opportunities, cultural delights, and proximity to world-class ski slopes draw millions of international visitors to this tiny capital every year. It is a city of two halves, each with its own attractions. The cobbled streets of the picturesque Old Town showcase Andorra's most interesting and impressive buildings, including ancient churches, while the more modern north side of town bustles with high-end stores and restaurants. Luxury goods are generally much cheaper here than elsewhere in Europe because of the country's low tax rates.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Italy, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Romania, Jamaica, Norway, Brazil and Belarus
Countries receiving points from most juries / Italy, 24
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Mexico in 9th with 10 points from Armenia and Andorra as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Costa Rica in 31st , getting 12 points from San Marino
As is only a natural thing, the lead changed with the first set of votes, but then South Africa held on for a while, before passing the lead to San Marino. And for a long time our host country looked like they could make it a double. However, a little more than halfway through, big brother Italy took over and sailed on to a very comfortable victory. Denmark ended up with the silver medal, and South Africa won the bronze - their first medal ever. Finland and San Marino rounded out the top 5.
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 and immediately achieved their best result, winning the silver medal with Laura Pausini. And in the very next edition, Nek took the last step up the podium to claim Italy's first gold medal in GM27. Paolo Meneguzzi made it three medals in a row, when he won the bronze on home soil. Two more changes in the Italian delegation saw the current HoD, Raquel take over in GM38. She kicked off with 2 bronze medals and shortly thereafter a silver medal, before taking home Italy's second trophy on her 18th attempt. Following this, the results became less impressive, though another silver medal was won in GM65. But never mind that - Italy is now a triple champion! In total Italy has now competed 58 times, reaching 47 finals, finishing in the top 10 on 19 occasions and winning 9 medals. Well done Italy, Giorgia and Raquel!
