For the second time in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, the Netherlands had to withdraw because the contest was held on their remembrance day. Malta, returning after 16 years of absence, took the open spot. Due to the Gulf War and rumorous times in Yugoslavia, RAI decided to move the contest from San Remo to Rome, which felt a bit more secure. Because of this late move it seemed that the RAI was not completely ready for the show. Toto Cutugno who co-hosted the contest had big difficulties with the pronunciation of the song titles and names of the artists and conductors. At the end of the voting Sweden and France both had 146 points but Sweden was declared winner as they gained more 10-point votes from other countries.
