==Venue==
===Host City===
After Sicily's win in Santiago, the sicilian delegation announced the 17th season would be hosted either in Palermo, Catania or Messina (the three largest cities of Sicily). Later on, yet none of the cities had a venue capable to host the contest, it was officialized that the contest would take place in Palermo. Palermo is a city of southern Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is in the northwest of the island of Sicily, by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The population of Palermo urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 855,285, while its metropolitan area is the fifth most populated in Italy with around 1.2 million people.
===Arena===
Since Palermo has no indoor venue to host the contest, it was decided that the contest would be hosted in Stadio Renzo Barbera, which would be adapted to the contest's needs for hosting. The Stadio Renzo Barbera is a football stadium in Palermo, Italy. It is currently the home stadium of Palermo F.C. team. The stadium was inaugurated during the fascist era on 24 January 1932. For matches, the stadium has a maximum capacity of 36,365.
