As usual, RAI will offer to the winner the right to represent Italy in the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv next May. In the last three editions the winner accepted the proposal and represented the country in the Eurovision contest. In 2016 only, Stadio turned down the offer and RAi selected then Francesca Michielin

In this year’s Eurovision Song Contest the winners of Sanremo 2018 ,Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro, represented Italy in Eurovision in Lisbon with their song “Non mi avete fatto niente”. The Italian duo achieved an honorable 5th place in the Grand final with 308 points and a remarkable 3rd placing in the public voting.
