There were 29 musical entries competing to win this year's Sanremo, the 75th edition of the festival, which was presented by Carlo Conti.
Olly's triumph at the 75th edition of Sanremo comes after singer Angelina Mango won the coveted title last year with her song "La Noia".
Olly, whose real name is Federico Olivieri, was born in the northern Italian city of Genoa in 2001. Olly competed in Sanremo two years ago with the song "Polvere".
According to tradition, the winner of Sanremo will be given the chance to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place in Basel on May 17.
