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”
