Italy: Sanremo Giovani: First female victory in 14 years | A sign of things to come at Sanremo 2024?

It’s no secret that, in recent years, the various voting groups of the Sanremo Festival (journalists, television viewers, and the polling committee) have favored male artists over female performers. This appeared to change on Tuesday, December 19, as a female artist won the Sanremo Giovani trophy for the first time in 14 years! Does this portend a female triumph at the 74th Sanremo Festival, which takes place in less than two months?

Clara made history at this year’s Sanremo Giovani. Not only did she secure her spot in Sanremo 2024, but she also accomplished something that no other artist had achieved in over 14 years with her victory in Sanremo Giovani. Or, to put it another way, to defeat every male competitor. The last female winner of Sanremo Giovani was Arisa back in 2009.

Arisa is actually the last female winner of both the San Remo Giovani and regular San Remo Festivals, having won in the established artists category in 2014. Arisa did not represent her country in the Eurovision Song Contest, despite her expressed desire to do so. Unfortunately, 2014 was the only year that RAI selected its Eurovision representative internally, rather than via the historic festival.

It seems like there’s a significant chance of an upset based on the betting and recent reports. It appears that the tradition of the unceasing wins by men can be subverted by three established Italian female artists. With Annalisa in third and Angelina Mango in sixth place, Alessandra Amoroso leads the odds by a significant margin.

POST SANREMO 2024 – EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Any of the 30 acts (and its respective record labels) who are interested in going to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will have to fill a special form concerning ESC – The winning act of Sanremo 2024 is automatically considered to be the Eurovision 2024 act. The winning act also has first refusal on that matter, though – in case it doesn’t accept going to Eurovision at all, the show’s organizing committee will then pick the Eurovision 2024 act according to their own criteria (this is especially important to those who have filled the form that determines its interest in going to ESC)

Sanremo 2024, will have different hosts every night alongside Amadeus:

  • Marco Mengoni, the Italian representative for Eurovision 2023 will be the co-host of Night 1.
  • Giorgia, a well-known Italian singer who has participated in Sanremo four times and was crowned its winner in 1995, will be the co-host of Night 2.
  • Teressa Mannino, Italian actress and comedian, will co-host Night 3.
  • Lorella Cuccarini, Italian dancer, TV presenter, singer and actress, will co-host Night 4.
  • Fiorello, Italian actor, will co-host among with Amadeus the big night of the Festival’s Final.
