If you're a loyal viewer of the Eurovision Song Contest, then you're certainly looking forward to the Grand Final, scheduled for this spring on Saturday, May 11, 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. Just before that, the Scandinavian city will host the semi-finals, which will determine which candidates will be allowed to join the 'Big-5' countries in the final. These automatically qualified countries include Germany, France andItaly.
Let's talk about Italy! Because, according to the bookmakers, the country of La Dolce Vita is one of the favourites alongside Switzerland and Croatia. So, after Måneskin's victory in 2021, will the country repeat its feat? For the time being, it's still too early to say, but Angelina Mango, the Italian representative, has a 12% chance of winning the 68th edition ofEurovision this year. She currently ranks 3rd in the competition. Better still, according to the bookmakers, Angelina Mango has a 39% chance of being in the Top 3 and a 60% chance of being in the Top 5 (according to May 7 figures). So, who is she and what song will the Italian artist perform in Sweden on May 11? We answer.

As you've probably guessed by now, Angelina Mango is a star back home, where she has already released two EPs, each time revealing a clever blend of diverse influences, such as Italian and American rap, R&B and instrumental music.
In a bid to score points and win over both the jury andEurovision viewers, Angelina Mango relied on the song " La Noia ", sung in Italian and already viewed over 815,000 times on the Eurovision YouTube channel.
