Italy took its well deserved third victory - finally! - at the Eurovision song contest 2021. Over the years several other Italian entries would have been worthy winners. In this series I will go through all of them from the worst ranking to the winners.
Yet another duet! Fabrizio Moro and Ermal Meta joined forces and indeed did win Sanremo together with Non mi avete fatto niente. For once Italy was not among the top favorites but they reached a respectable 5th place out of 43.
Fabrizio Moro (46) started his career in mid 1990's and came to Sanremo's newcomers in 2007 that he won with two albums and one participation in Newcomers. The year after he's third among Big and has ever since collected awards here and there. he also writes for other artists, and 2012 he's behind the 3rd placed song sung by Noemi. Nine studio albums, almost 30 singles and a career that is still going very strong.
Ermal Meta (40) was born in Albania, tried Sanremo newcomers twice with different bands without success and eventually started writing songs to other artists with great success including Marco Mengoni, Emma, Francesca Michielin, Patty Pravo, Annalisa. In 2016 he's finally solo in Sanremo among Newcomers placing 3rd among Francesco Gabbani (1st), Mahmood (4th) and Irama (NQ). The year after he's already 3rd among Big. And again in 2021. Four studio solo albums and over 20 singles so far he's ready to comeback and win Sanremo solo any time soon.
