The fourth night of Festival di Sanremo was indeed a special one—the Cover Night. By the end of the evening, we have a winner: Giorgia, in a duet with Annalisa. It’s important to mention that the 4th Night has an independent winner, and tonight’s result won’t affect the outcome of tomorrow’s grand final.

Festival di Sanremo took place in the city of Sanremo at Teatro Ariston, just like in previous years. Tonight, the 29 contestants performed in duets, either with famous artists or with each other. The duets among the contestants were a new addition to the festival’s rules this year. In this edition, every artist performed in a duet during the Cover Night, with no solo performances as in previous years.

Tonight, Mahmood, who represented Italy in 2019 and again in 2022, was invited by Carlo Conti to be one of the night’s co-hosts. He also performed a medley of his songs.

The show was hosted by Carlo Conti and co-hosted by Mahmood and Geppi Cucciari. Tonight’s vote was split as follows: 33 percent from the radio jury, 33 percent from the press jury, and 34 percent from the televote.

Festivali di Sanremo 2025: Night 4

Winner

With so many incredible performances tonight, both the jury and the public had a very difficult task in picking just one song. However, we have a winner, and she is Giorgia. She received a trophy for the Cover Night, but this victory will not impact her final result in tomorrow’s grand final. It’s worth mentioning that Giorgia was in the top 5 on both previous nights in which she competed.

Her duet partner was Annalisa, a well-known figure among Eurovision fans for her numerous Sanremo participations. Last year, she was on the podium with her song “Sinceramente,” finishing in 3rd place. Annalisa and Giorgia have shared the stage before, and it’s easy to see that they make a powerful duet.

Tonight, they performed “Skyfall,” a cover of Adele’s song. The track was originally recorded in 2012 for the James Bond movie of the same name.

The performance can be watched on RaiPlay’s website.

A very deserved win. I really hope that Giorgia takes the win tonight! Such a class act and I love her performance 🙂

would be pretty clever if italy sends a ballad to eurovision, because 99% of the entries selected so far are really noisy. a good ballad could easily get a top 5 result

Giorgia is amazing with her vocals, so Annalisa, but Skyfall was just a random choice. It was perfect for Annalisa but not for Giorgia. Lucio Corsi did a BEAUTIFUL intelretation with Topo Gigio and the song “Nel blu dipinto di blu” had a meaning in his Sanremo’s story. Cristicchi deserved top 5 tonight and a lot of perfomance in top 10 were not good.
Tomorrow I predict top 5: Lucio Corsi, Cristicchi, Giorgia, Olly, Fedez. Possible 6°/7°/8° Place Achille Lauro, Brunori Sas and Irama.

Omg! Bresh-is not there after all those troubles!
Lucio nr2 -the boy is doing just good!
And then the Skyfall nr 1. Well, I think it was not Giorgia who did it today but another singer( sorry didn’t catch the name as I arrived late).
Achille is not there tonight…
Mixed feelings I have….

Costume Comment- Category is a film noir of the 30s. Elodie kinda looks like Rita Hayworth in Gilda and Achille is again, channelling a mafia boss in 1920s New York. I would watch that movie tho.

Costume Comment- Honestly, I don’t like to be too critical, but if you are going to wear a capelet dress number, wear at least knee high pants. There are a few angles that looked weird. And this comes from someone who has a thing for Asher Grodman.
