Filming of the postcards for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 has commenced, with Perugia revealed as the first location.
Rai has commenced filming the postcards for the 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The postcards appear to be following the slogan of the contest “the Sound of Beauty”, with Rai filming in picturesque and beautiful locations across Italy.
Cinguetterai reports that filming commenced yesterday in the center of Perugia yesterday, with postcards set to be filmed across the rest of Italy during the coming weeks. Rai has not revealed any details so far regarding the chosen locations.
The postcards are shown before the start of each performance at the Eurovision Song Contest with each nation having a different postcard. The postcard is used traditionally to promote the host country of that year’s contest or show the artist who is due to perform next.
In 2021 the postcard featured all of the artists presented in a tiny house in a unique place in the Netherlands. The artists recorded in front of a green screen in their home countries and were then superimposed onto a tiny house that was filled with items related to them.
The Eurovision Song Contest returns to Italy this year following Måneskin’s victory at the 2021 contest with their song “Zitti e Buoni”. The 2022 contest will be hosted in Turin on 10th, 12th, and 14th May at the PalaOlimpico. The contest was last held in Italy in 1991.
