Marco Mengoni (Italian: [ˈmarko meŋˈɡoːni]; born 25 December 1988) is an Italian singer-songwriter who rose to fame in 2009, after winning the third season of Italian talent show X Factor.[1] Since that he has sold over 2.8 million records in Italy, peaking the Italian albums chart seven consecutive times and entering the Top 10 Italian Singles Chart fifteen times.[2][3] He won the Sanremo Music Festival in 2013 and again in 2023, therefore representing Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest in both years, respectively.

His 2009 debut extended play, Dove si vola, was preceded by the single with the same title, which reached the top spot of the Italian Top Digital Downloads chart and also served as his coronation song. In February 2010, Mengoni competed in the 60th Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Credimi ancora", placing third in a field of fifteen.[4] The song was included in his second extended play, Re matto, which debuted at number one in Italy. The EP was promoted through an Italian tour, which yielded the live album Re matto live. Mengoni's first full-length studio album, Solo 2.0, was released in September 2010 and was certified gold by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.

In 2013, Mengoni won the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival with his song "L'essenziale". Mengoni was then internally selected by RAI to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö with "L'essenziale". The song also became the lead single of the album Prontoacorrere, which became his fourth number-one on the Italian albums chart. In 2015, Mengoni released the albums Parole in circolo and Le cose che non ho, which were part of the same artistic project, also including the live record Marco Mengoni Live, all of them reaching the number one of Italian albums chart. After the 2017 collaboration "Come neve" with Italian singer Giorgia, he published his seventh consecutive number-one album Atlantico in 2018. In 2023, ten years after his first victory, he won the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival with "Due vite", earning him the right to represent Italy again in the Eurovision Song Contest, this time in Liverpool.

During his career, Mengoni has received several awards, including a Nastro d'Argento, two TRL Awards, nine Wind Music Awards, nine MTV Italian Music Awards and a Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. In 2010 and 2015, he won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best European Act, becoming the first Italian artist to win that prize. In 2013, he also won the MTV European Music Award for Best Southern European Act.

On 2 September 2011, Mengoni released the single "Solo (Vuelta al ruedo)", preceding his first full-length studio album, Solo 2.0.

After moving to Milan, in February 2013 Mengoni competed in the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival with the songs "L'essenziale" and "Bellissimo", the latter written by Gianna Nannini.[63] On 12 February 2013, "L'essenziale" won against "Bellissimo" as the song to be performed by Mengoni during the next stages of the competition.[64] During the fourth night, he also performed a cover of Luigi Tenco's "Ciao amore ciao".[65] On 16 February 2013, Mengoni was announced the winner of the competition.[66] During the same night, an internal jury also chose Mengoni among the other participants to the competition as the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.[67]

A shortened version of "L'essenziale" was later chosen as the song to be performed during the Eurovision Song Contest.[68] As part of the "Big Five", Mengoni automatically qualified for the final of the competition, held in Malmö, Sweden, on 18 May 2013. Mengoni finished seventh in a field of 26, receiving 126 points.[69]

After being released as a single, "L'essenziale" debuted at number one on the Italian Digital Downloads chart, holding the top spot for a total of eight consecutive weeks and being certified multi-platinum.[38][70] Both "L'essenziale" and "Bellissimo" were included in Mengoni's second studio album, #prontoacorrere, produced by Michele Canova and released in Italy on 19 March 2013.[71] The album, which features songs written by artists such as Mark Owen, Gianna Nannini, Ivano Fossati and Cesare Cremonini,[71] debuted at number one in Italy, and it was certified platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.[72] The following singles from the album, "Pronto a correre" and "Non passerai", were released in Italy on 19 April and on 23 August 2013, respectively, and they both entered the top-ten in Mengoni's home country.[73][74][75][76]

He participated in and won the Sanremo Music Festival 2023 with the song "Due vite",[86][87] earning him the right to represent Italy again in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool.[88] In an interview on TG1 following his win, Mengoni stated that he may choose a different song other than "Due vite" to compete in Eurovision;[89] the song was later confirmed to remain as Mengoni's Eurovision 2023 entry.[90][91] In the final, Mengoni ultimately placed fourth, with a score of 350 points.[92]
