Tuesday, 01 March 2022

  • Merano is the latest location revealed as one of the Eurovision 2022 postcard locations .

    The Italian Eurovision 2022 host broadcaster, RAI, is in full steam making all the preparations for Eurovision 2022, which will take place the coming May in Turin. 

    Among others, one of the significant features of the contest, the Eurovision postcards, are underway also, with RAI visiting the locations that will be showcased in the postcard films. 

    Postcards are the small clips that are shown between the songs during the contest and helps us to know the performer of each country and showcase the local beauties of the host nation, but also to give the organizers the necessary time to prepare the stage for the next contestant. 

    In accordance to this year's slogan "Sound of beauty", RAI is filming postcards in several locations across Italy showcasing the country's natural beauty and most impressive lanscapes. So far three locations have been revealed by RAI with the lastest on to be Melano.

     

    Namely the three locations so far confirmed are: 

    • Terni & the Marmore falls in Umbria
    • Perugia
    • Merano

     

    Merano is a city and comune in South Tyrol, northern Italy. Generally best known for its spa resorts, it is located within a basin, surrounded by mountains standing up to 3,335 metres (10,942 feet) above sea level, at the entrance to the Passeier Valley and the Vinschgau.

    In the past, the city has been a popular place of residence for several scientists, literary people, and artists, including Franz Kafka, Ezra Pound, Paul Lazarsfeld, and also Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who appreciated its mild climate.

     

    In last year's Eurovision postcards the artists were visually presented in a tiny house in different locations around the Netherlands. With special digital techiques implemented the 39 acts didn't  need to be present during the filming of the postcard, which is rather convenient with all the ongoing covid-19 restrictions. 

    The 66th edition of the contest is set to take place on May 10,12 and 14 at the Pala Olimpico in Turin, Italy.
