Italy: The results of the third night of Sanremo 2022!

After two really successful first nights of Sanremo 2022, we saw all the competing songs performed on stage for the second time tonight. At the end of the night we found out the new general ranking. Today the vote was determined by the public, 50% through televoting and 50% through the demoscopic jury of 1000 people selected specifically for this purpose. Of course, tonight’s ranking was combined with the ranking of the previous two nights.

The show

Amadeus was accompanied on stage at Teatro Ariston by the persona Drusilla Foer (alter ego of Gianluca Gori).

Guests of the evening were singer Cesare Cremonini, actress Anna Valle, journalist and writer Roberto Saviano and carabinieri Marina Pigliapoco.

The songs

Tonight we listened to all 25 candidate songs for the second time:

• Giusy Ferreri – Miele

Known for several hits in Italy and not only. Her fourth participation in the festival.

• Highsnob & Hu – Abbi cura di te

First participation for the duo with one of the most emotional songs.

• Fabrizio Moro – Sei tu

Eighth entry for Fabrizio Moro who, in a duet with Ermal Meta, won once in 2018 and represented Italy in Eurovision.

• Aka 7even – Perfetta così

First entry for the young rapper who became famous from the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, finishing fourth. He also won the MTV Europe Award for Best Italian Artist in 2021.

• Massimo Ranieri – Lettera di là dal mare

Winner of Sanremo 1988 and a two-time representative of Italy in Eurovision (1971 and 1973). This is his seventh participation in the festival.

• Dargen D’Amico – Dove si balla

Another first-time participant as a performer, although he has already participated in the festival as a composer of the songs “Chiamami per nome” and “Dieci”.

• Irama – Ovunque sarai

His fourth participation in the Festival. Despite his young age, he has already made a name for himself in Italy.

• Ditonellapiaga & Rettore – Chimica

Fifth appearance for veteran Donatella Rettore, this time in a duet with indie pop singer Dittonellapiaga, who is making her first appearance.

• Michele Bravi – Inverno dei fiori

Bravi rose to fame after winning the seventh edition of the italian X Factor. This is his second participation in Sanremo.

• Rkomi – Insuperabile

First participation for the rapper from Milan too. He already counts three albums that arrived at the top of the Italian charts, especially last year.

• Mahmood & Blanco – Brividi

One of the favorites for the win. Mahmood does not need introduction to the fans, as he was the winner of Sanremo 2019 and brought Italy near the victory at Eurovision. Blanco is a rather new artist who has already made a name for himself in Italy among the younger generations, especially with his album “Blu Celeste”. This is his first participation in the festival.

A legend of Italian music, with sales exceeding 50 million records. He represented Italy in Eurovision 1970, and was the winner of Sanremo 1987.

• Tananai – Sesso occassionale

First participation for the young singer, who is one of the three Sanremo Giovani “qualifiers”.

• Elisa – O forse sei tu

One of the biggest names in the Italian music scene and another favorite for the win. This is her second participation after her victory in 2001!

• La rappresentante di Lista – Ciao Ciao

One of the favourites for the top 3. The pop band from Palermo, who are constantly changing their appearance, hopes to represent Italy in Eurovision 2022. It is their second participation in the festival.

• Iva Zanicchi – Voglio amarti

A huge name in Italy who returns to the Festival for the eleventh time! She has already won three times (1967, 1969, 1974) and represented Italy in Eurovision 1969.

• Achille Lauro feat. Harlem Gospel Choir – Domenica

Achille Lauro has been successful mainly in the field of punk and hip hop music. This is his third participation in the Sanremo Festival.

• Matteo Romano – Virale

Another Sanremo Giovani “qualifier”. The young singer became very famous through TikTok.

• Ana Mena – Duecentomila ore

First participation in Sanremo for the Spanish singer and actress.

• Sangiovanni – Farfalle

First participation in the Festival for the young singer who stood out in the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, finishing second.

• Yuman – Ora e qui
