I know they have their own San Remo Song Contest but I'm sure they used to be part of the Eurovision and they are part of Europe.<br/>Ps - SBS used to show the Italian Children's Song Contest - whatever happened to that? (i used to watch it when I was a child). Can someone explain to me why Italy is never in the Eurovision Song Contest?

You can bet they will be looking to air both semi finals. Eurovision is a product of the European Broadcasters, financed by the Big 4.
