The competition was divided in two sections. The winner of the Big Artists section was Diodato with the song "Fai rumore", while Leo Gassmann won the Newcomers' section with "Vai bene così". As a result of his victory, Diodato earned the right to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020; however, after the contest's cancellation, Diodato performed "Fai rumore" in the non-competitive replacement show Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light.
