The festival of San Remo starts

Tonight, the festival of San Remo starts. The winner of the contest can be the Italian representant in the Eurovision Song Contest. That means, if he, she or they want it. All the participants had to inform Italian television (RAI) already about their wish to participate…. or not. The show starts at 20.40 CET and you can watch it here.

This first night, 13 songs will be presented:

  • Achille Lauro, “Domenica”
  • Ana Mena, “Duecentomila ore”
  • Dargen d’Amico, “Dove si balla”
  • Gianni Morandi, “Apri tutte le porte”
  • Giusy Ferreri, “Miele”
  • La rappresentante di Lista, “Ciao ciao”
  • Mahmood & Blanco, “Brividi”
  • Massimo Ranieri, “Lettera al di là del mare”
  • Michele Bravi, “Inferno dei fiori”
  • Noemi, “Ti amo, non lo so dire”
  • Rkomi, “Insuperabile”
  • Yuman, “Ora e qui”

Achille Lauro took part in San Remo 2019 and 2020.
Gianni Morandi won Canzonissima 1970 and thus represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest. He also took part in Canzonissima 1971 and 1973 and won San Remo 1988 but did not represent Italy in that year.
