Today, RAI confirmed that Nina Zilli will sing Per Sempre (Forever) when she represents Italy in Baku in May.
The song, which gave Nina 7th place at this year’s festival, will be changed so that it fits within the three minute rule. It will also have new words as some of the song will be performed in English.
When Italy returned to the contest last year after a fourteen year absence, they were given ‘Big 5’ status, giving Raphael Gualazzi automatic passage into the final. Nina will also have an automatic place in the final.
