In a just world, this deserves to win, although the song is utterly pretentious and with extremely Tik Tok generation driven twists. Sergio Jaén achieves the balance between calm and tempestuous that the song's message demands. pic.twitter.com/nZPtOkchlf
How did Italy place at Eurovision 2025?
Italy has closed in fifth position within Lucio Corsi and the song I wanted to be tough. After the second place at the Sanremo Festival, Corsi conquered 256 total points, with 159 from the juries (fourth place overall) and 97 from televotingThe Tuscan singer-songwriter has been awarded by several nations, including Slovenia, San Marino, Portugal, Croatia, Georgia and Switzerland, who awarded it the maximum score (12 points). The Italian jury, instead, awarded the 12 points to the United Kingdom.
Despite not reaching the podium, Italy confirms itself among the most appreciated countries of the competition and maintains the high reputation of its music scene. Corsi's unique and theatrical style has left its mark, even if it has not reached the hearts of the public enough to rise even higher.
Lucio just came to Eurovision to showcase his life story for three minutes. For that alone, this entry is very special from the others. It feels authentic & real next to all the crazy and over-the-top stuff

Who came last at Eurovision 2025?
La biggest disappointment it came from Gabry Bridge, competing for San Marino. His dance track failed to conquer either juries nor public, closing at thelast place in the standings. Although he made the arena dance, the Italian DJ and producer did not collect enough votes, marking a clear gap compared to the other competitors.
The choice to focus on a highly choreographic and rhythmic performance did not pay off. The result highlights how, at Eurovision, the emotional and narrative component still counts a lot in the overall perception of the performance.
Italian, he represents San Marino while singing “with this stuff all of Italy will blow up” while showing up at the final dressed in the tricolour.
