"Eternal City"
Welcome to Rome, where history, art, and culture converge to create an unparalleled journey through time. This eternal city, nestled in the heart of Italy, is a living masterpiece that beckons you to explore its iconic treasures. Step into the Colosseum, where the roars of ancient gladiators still echo in the grand amphitheater's stone walls. Marvel at the majesty of the Roman Forum, where the remnants of an empire tell stories of power and ambition that shaped the world. Venture into Vatican City, the spiritual heart of the Catholic Church, and be awestruck by the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums, home to masterpieces like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. Wander through the cobblestone streets of Trastevere, where charming piazzas and trattorias offer a taste of authentic Roman life. Indulge in the world's finest cuisine, from mouthwatering pasta dishes to crispy, thin-crust pizza served in cozy neighborhood ristorantes. Discover the romantic allure of the Trevi Fountain, where tossing a coin ensures your return to this captivating city. Climb the Spanish Steps for panoramic views of the bustling city below, or take a leisurely stroll along the Tiber River's banks. Immerse yourself in the artistry of the Pantheon's perfect dome, and lose yourself among the sculptures and fountains of the Villa Borghese gardens. Rome is a living museum, where every corner holds a new wonder waiting to be uncovered. As day turns into night, Rome's enchantment deepens. Sip wine at a charming enoteca, where the vintage ambience matches the exquisite flavors. Savor gelato while wandering the city's romantic squares illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights. Rome's magic lies not only in its ancient wonders but also in the warmth of its people, who welcome visitors with open arms. It's a city where the past and present coexist in perfect harmony, inviting you to be a part of its timeless story. So, pack your bags and prepare for an adventure unlike any other.

The Result
Countries receiving most South Korea, Indonesia, Portugal, San Marino and New Zealand, 3
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / China, Argentina and Mexico
Countries receiving points from most juries / Italy, 22
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Italy in 7th with 10 points from Armenia, Portugal and Russia as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Austria in 28th , getting 12 points from Turkey
Overall this was a very close voting with only 12 points separating 2nd place from 11th point. However, one country stood out above the rest. Taking the lead about one third into the voting, South Korea never looked back and soared to victory 48 points ahead of fellow Asian countries Indonesia and Israel, who took home silver and bronze respectively. Canada and Iceland rounded out the top 5. It was a good edition for Asia, as South Korea, Indonesia and China in 9th place all secured best results ever.
South Korea made their debut in GM15, but their appearances were only sporadic, and they only reached the final twice and never finished higher than 26th, before becoming a regular player as late as GM67. Still their results were less than impressive, and they did not reach the top 20 until as recently as GM73, when they placed 15th. Now this all changes, as Ailee soars to the top making South Korea only the second Asian country to claim victory. In total South Korea has competed 16 times and reached 6 finals. This is their first top 10 and medal. Well done Aille, South Korea and Ismael!
