Jalisse are an Italian duo, consisting of Alessandra Drusian and Fabio Ricci, who have both been singing together for over 14 years and are still active. They represented Italy in the 1997 contest in Dublin, with the song Fiumi di Parole.
Jalisse are one of those apparently blamed for the 12-year withdrawal from Eurovision by Italy from the years 1998 to 2010, as the song that is denoted as "powerful" came 4th, which however, is a very respectable placing. They did however, apply to sing San Marino's debut entry in 2008, but they were unsuccessful. They were also the international jury members for the Czech national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.
