Italy came third with 292 votes after Sweden’s Måns Zelmerlöw with Heroes(365) and Russia’s Polina Gagarina with A Million Voices (303). Il bel Paese was represented by Il Volo, a group of two tenors and a baritone from Sicily, Bologna and Abruzzo respectively: Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble.
