What else happened tonight?

Night four of Sanremo 2023 was once again hosted by Amadeus and Gianni Morandi. Tonight’s co-host was Chiara Francini, who used her monologue to explore motherhood and parenting, and which featured a flamingo!

Interval acts tonight included Italian music legend Peppino di Capri, who celebrated 70 years of his career in the Italian music industry with a performance of his song “Champagne”. More recent Sanremo favourites La Rappresentante di Lista performed on the Colombo Square stage, with Takagi & Ketra performing on the Costa Smeralda, the cruise ship floating stage. The cast of Mare Fuori took to the Ariston stage to perform and promote the latest series of their show.

Italy’s Eurovision Journey

Italy has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest since the very beginning and has always been considered a powerhouse in the contest. Italy has won the contest on three occasions: in 1964, 1990 and 2021. After 1997, Italy withdrew for a while, returning again in 2011 with Raphael Gualazzi, who sang ‘Madness Of Love.’ Raphael placed second in the 2011 Eurovison Song Contest, scoring 189 points.

Italy’s most recent entry in 2022 was ‘Brividi’ by Mahmood and Blanco, performed on home soil after rock band Måneskin won the previous contest in 2021. At the close of voting, Italy scoring 268 points in the Eurovision 2022 Grand Final, placing sixth.
