Italy debuted at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest when the twelfth edition of competition was held in Malta in 2014.

This made Italy the second country to win with the debut entry after Croatia's victory in the first edition.

In 2015, the Italian broadcaster decided to participate again, this time sending the twins Chiara and Martina Scarpari to the contest.

In 2015, the online broadcasts featured commentary in English by junioreurovision.tv editor Luke Fisher and 2011 Bulgarian Junior Eurovision Song Contest entrant Ivan Ivanov.

Spokespersons were also chosen by the national broadcaster in order to announce the awarding points from Italy.
