After an exciting week full of music, comedy and special guests, Angelina Mango has won the 74th Festival di Sanremo, with her song “La noia”!
This year, 30 acts participated in Sanremo. On each night leading up to the final, only the top five would be announced for the first time (after revealing the full results in previous years). The first night, on Tuesday, saw all contestants performing their song for the first time. The press gave their votes, which resulted in the following top five:
- Loredana Bertè – “Pazza”
- Angelina Mango – “La noia”
- Annalisa – “Sinceramente”
- Diodato – “Ti muovi”
- Mahmood – “Tuta gold”
On the second and third nights, half of the acts performed their songs again, and the top five was decided by a combination of televotes and a radio jury. The top five for the second night:
- Geolier – “I p’ me, tu p’ te”
- Irama – “Tu no”
- Annalisa – “Sinceramente”
- Loredana Bertè – “Pazza”
- Mahmood – “Tuta gold”
And the third night:
- Angelina Mango – “La noia”
- Ghali – “Casa mia”
- Alessandra Amoroso – “Fino a qui”
- Il Tre – “Fragili”
- Mr. Rain – “Due altalene”
The fourth night (Friday) was cover night! Each participant performed a duet with another musician and chose a song by yet another singer or band (at least for most of the acts). The top five was decided by televotes, the press, and the radio jury. The top-five artists, and their songs, are:
- Geolier & Guè, Gigi D’Alessio & Luchè – “Strade” medley
- Angelina Mango & Quartetto d’archi Orchestra di Roma – “La rondine”
- Annalisa & La Rappresentante di Lista & Coro Artemia – “Sweet Dreams”
- Ghali & Ratchopper – “Italiano vero” medley
- Alfa & Roberto Vecchioni – “Sogna, ragazzo, sogna”
Tonight, everyone performed their songs for a final time, and the winner was chosen by televotes, press and radio, each accounting for 1/3 of the results. As usual, the top five battled for the win in a superfinal. Find the full results here:

As always, the winner of Sanremo is not automatically the Italian representative in Eurovision: they have to accept the honour first. In her Sunday morning press conference, Angelina announced that she will be representing her country in Malmö!
