On the first night of Sanremo 2024 the co-host was Marco Mengoni (winner of the last edition of the song contest), while the second night saw popular Italian singer Giorgia (who won in 1995).
Giorgia took the stage and proved to be an impeccable co-host. Other notable moments of the show were the performance of the pianist Giovanni Allevi (the first in public after a long period of illness due to myeloma) and the idea of the host and artistic director Amadeus to have the 15 artists of the evening introduced by the other 15 who will sing on night 3. Some of them dressed elegantly for the occasion (like the emo-punk trio La Sad), others just had fun (like I Ricchi e Poveri, Ghali and Alessandra Amoroso).
In the second evening, the performances were voted on by radio stations and the general public. From first to last, the top five included Geolier, Irama, Annalisa, Loredana Bertè and Mahmood.
Here are some of the highlights of night 2 on Wednesday (Feb. 7).
