Sanremo winner to perform at Circus Maximus.
Italian singer-songwriter Marco Mengoni, fresh from his Sanremo triumph, is to play a concert at the Circus Maximus in Rome on Saturday 15 July.
The news comes the day after it was announced that Guns N' Roses will perform in the coveted Roman venue on 8 July.
Mengoni, who won this year's Sanremo Music Festival with his song Due Vite, will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool on 13 May.
The pop star, 34, will then embark on a tour of Italy which will conclude at the Circus Maximus.

The Circus Maximus has hosted several major acts in recent years, from The Rolling Stones to Maneskin, with Bruce Springsteen set to play his second concert there in May.
