Factual error: A central point of the plot is Iceland not being able to host due to financial constraints. But the winning country is allowed to nominate another country to take on the hosting role if wanted.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Suggested correction: Italy has been absent from the Eurovision Song Contest for over a decade; the reason from multiple sources is reported to be the same stated here, even if not officially. Organizing the event is costly, very risky if production values are not up to standards and the return can be limited or negative - so you could say it happened in the past. It's a matter of internal politics, consider that executives may look at their own gain more than the big picture, and 'handing it over' to someone else makes someone in the business of organizing events (rather than winning them) lose face more than simply being one of the many who don't end up victorious.
