The song received only 33 points in the final vote , ranking at 21st place in the final ranking of the competition . This represents one of the worst placements of the 40 occasions in which Italy has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest . This is also the first time since Italy returned in 2011 the country has not placed inside the top 10 . Also this is the worst position for Italy in the whole Eurovision history ( although not their worst score , as they finished 17th and joint-last with the dreaded '' nul points '' in the 1966 contest with Domenico Modugno 's " Dio , come ti amo " )
