The Sanremo Festival, a huge success on Italian television every year, will take place from February 7 to 11 at the Ariston Theatre.
12,000,000 viewers, representing a 53% average audience share, is the score achieved by this Italian song festival for its 2010 edition. A true public approval. Created in 1951, the Sanremo Festival served as an example for the Eurovision, which was created five years later. Italy prioritized the Sanremo Festival between 1997 and 2011 and did not participate in Eurovision during that time.
Global stars such as Domenico Modugno, Pino Donaggio, and Laura Pausini have emerged from this competition. Last year’s winner was the group Stadio, with their song: Un giorno mi dirai.
