It was the first time since Eurovision 2006 that a group had won at the contest, with an atypical contesting music genre, and Italy's first Eurovision victory since Eurovision 1990. Furthermore, it was the first time since Germany's victory in Eurovision 2010 that a "Big Five" nation had won the contest. With the exception of the lead vocalist David, the rest of the members became the first artists born after 2000 to win the Eurovision Song Contest. They received congratulations from the Presidency and Government of Italy, and the Italian media, where the win and a sense of joy were described as a reminiscence of the time when the Italy national football team won the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
