Italy in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Italy competed in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Nice, France, with Melissa and Ranya performing "Un mondo giusto". Italian broadcaster RAI, responsible for the country's participation, selected its artists and song via an internal selection.

Background
Prior to the 2023 contest, Italy has participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest eight times since its debut in, having won the contest on their first appearance with the song "Tu primo grande amore", performed by Vincenzo Cantiello. On the country's most recent appearance, in 2022, the Italian broadcaster internally selected Chanel Dilecta to represent Italy at the contest with the song "Bla Bla Bla". She achieved eleventh place with 95 points.

Italy withdrew from the 2020 contest due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite initially announcing that they would not return in 2021, they ultimately announced their participation in the 2021 contest in France.

Before Junior Eurovision

On 4 October, RAI announced Melissa and Ranya – Melissa Agliottone and Ranya Moufidi, respectively the winner and one of the finalists of The Voice Kids – as the Italian representatives. Their entry, "Un mondo giusto", was composed by Franco Fasano and Marco Iardella in English and Italian, and was revealed on 12 October.
