Press release from the Italian Delegation
For the first time in Eurovision history – Italy will deliver their powerful message of the song, Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente, via multi-lingual overlay di- splayed to the viewers. This concept only recently in- troduced to the Eurovision Song Contest, enables Italy to deliver key messages from the song to the viewer and for this performance Italy will use 15 different languages on the screen.
The song, Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente was inspired as a result of the terror attacks around the world and is a message for the people. «It’s our point of view on the terror and the fear felt by many people» says Ermal.
«In November 2015, just after the Bataclan at- tack, I was inspired and moved by the letter written by the partner of one of the victims. ‘You will not have my hate, you will not have my fear - he said - You haven’t done anything to me’.», says Fabrizio.
Just after the Manchester Arena attack, Fabrizio and Ermal Meta met. «Many of our fans were terri- fied by what happened there. Our message is a mes- sage against the fear. We don’t have to be paralysed by our fear but confront it».
Fabrizio Moro (43), born in Rome, began wri- ting and arranging his first songs as a teenager. After his debut in Sanremo 2000, he had a second chance to take part to the newcomers’ section in 2007, when he won both the trophy and the Mia Martini cri- tics award with a strong anthem on the brave men who fought against the Mafia. In later years, he won twice the third prize in Sanremo as solo artist in 2008 and as songwriter in 2012, and has several Gold and Platinum records in his career.
Italy when he was 13 years old. He debuted in San- remo in 2006 as a guitar player in the band Ameba4. After having successfully pursued a career as a son- gwriter, he emerged as a solo artist. He won the third prize and the Mia Martini critics award in Sanre- mo 2017 and is one of Italy’s most successful wri- ters of the last decade with eleven Platinum records and twelve Gold in the last five years alone.
In 2018 they both returned to the Sanremo Festi- val. Ermal teamed up with Fabrizio and presented the song Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente. The duo won the competition by a landslide and will represent Italy in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro, representing Italy, will perform at the Grand Final of the 63rd Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday 12th May 2018, with their song Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente.
