Italian 2023 hopeful, Marco Mengoni, might not sing his winning Sanremo song, “Due Vite”, in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Marco has stated that he is also very open to sing a whole different song in the competition upcoming May.
Marco Mengoni and his song choice
In a newscast of the Italian national broadcaster, RAI, Marco Mengoni stated that he is very open to sing another song than “Due Vite” in the contest of 2023. Marco also mentioned that he has written other unreleased songs for his next album that could also be a perfect fit to perform on the Eurovision stage.
In case Marco does choose to perform “Due Vite”, the song has to be adjusted to bring it back to the allowed 3-minute running time that is allowed in the Eurovision Song Contest, which can change the song drastically. The song that he wants to perform needs to be handed in at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) by mid-March 2023.

Eurovision 2023
We will see Marco Mengoni perform in the Grand Final on May 13th 2023, because Italy is one Of the Big Five countries, which means that this country does not have to compete in the Semi-finals, and immediately qualifies for the Grand Final.
