His song "Ti regalerò una rosa"[1] won due to extremely high marks received from the festival staff (96/100) and popular vote. The lyrics to the song are taken from papers he found that were written by a man who was in a mental hospital for most of his life.

The song has so far reached number 3 on the official Italian charts and number 1 one the official downloads chart going to became Christicchi's most successful song to date in the country.
