I think that SVT have some sense of humor.
Is it good, is it bad?
It's in the middle of 1st half, so it could have been better just as worse.
It's between two "weak" entries (according to the odds) and that's a plus.
But I fear that Francesca's colourful garden will be totally forgotten after the much later Zoe's pathway.
We must hope that Francesca's own singing prowess is so powerful to survive after Australia, Serbia, Ukraine, Austria and Armenia in the memory of televoters. It's a long way to go...
Will they still remember our sweet Peach after 20 songs?
The only other time that Italy was in the 1st half was in 2012 with Nina Zilli (at spot 10) and we ended 9th, so there is hope for another top10 after all. xcrossed
Other entries singing at 6, and how they ended on the scoreboard:
2015: Armenia -> 16th
2014: Romania -> 12th
2013: Belgium -> 12th
2012: Russia -> 2nd
2011: Ireland -> 8th
