They’re one of the most successful countries at Eurovision since their return in 2011 — and Italy shows no sign of slowing down.
On Sunday Italian broadcaster RAI revealed the 12 finalists for Sanremo Giovani — the competition for less established acts that will pick three contestants for the big Sanremo festival in February.
The Sanremo Giovani contest will take place on 20 December. The three lucky acts will join 23 other acts — who RAI handpicked — in the big Sanremo festival.
The lucky 12 are…
Sanremo Giovani: Italy reveals 12 finalists for qualifier event
- bnkr44 – “Effetti speciali”
- Grenbaud – “Mama”
- Lor3n – “Fiore D’inverno”
- Tancredi – “Perle”
- Dipinto – “Criminali”
- Nausica – “Favole”
- CLARA – “Boulevard”
- Jacopo Sol – “COSE CHE NON SAI”
- SANTI FRANCESI – “Occhitristi”
- Vale LP – “Stronza”
- Fellow – “Alieno”
- Omini – “Mare Forza 90i”
bnkr44 and santi francesi are my favorites so far. I’m still patiently waiting for the 4 Area Sanremo songs to be released before I finalize my top 3 picks
Nice to see Tancredi in. I was once addicted to “Isole” thanks to the Netflix series “Di4ri”
Big names in Italian music are expected to compete for the festival, from IL VOLO to Gianna Nannini, Diodato, Alessandra Amoroso, Annalisa, Ghali, The kolors, Negramaro etc… The official list will be dated December 3rd!
I discovered Tancredi 3 years ago and I was obsessed with him, and always wished to see him in San Remo.
The only artist I knew before hand was bnkr44 and I liked their album when I listened to it. I feel as if, recently, Sanremo Giovani hasn’t quite produced the future stars that it was doing in previous editions, but they’d be a good candidate to change that.
Sanremo trumps Eurovision at this point.
Not hard, given ESC’s current Mello-ification
