Italy: Night 2 Results for Sanremo 2024
Night 2 of Sanremo 2024 has officially drawn to a close. 15 acts took the stage with their songs again. After voting was totaled up tonight, the top five for the night were revealed
The second night of Festival di Sanremo 2024 has concluded, and this evening we saw 15 acts perform their song for the second time.
Just like Night 1, the top five of the night were revealed at the end of the show. Tonight, votes consisted of 50% radio jury and 50% public vote. Once the votes were totaled up, it was announced by Amadeus that the top five were:
- Geolier - "I' p' me, tu p' te"
- Irama - "Tu no"
- Annalisa - "Sinceramente"
- Loredana Bertè - "Pazza"
- Mahmood - "Tuta gold"
Co-hosting alongside Amadeus tonight was Giorgia. She has participated in Sanremo five times, with the song "Parole dette male" being her most recent attempt in 2023, and 1995 being her most notable attempt after winning the festival with the song "Come saprei." We also saw multiple guest appearances including American actor John Travolta and Fiorello, who helped make Night 2 even more memorable.
Sanremo 2024 – 2nd night
Tonight, we got a great show out of the special guests as well. Rosa Chemical took to the Suzuki stage with Made in Italy, their Sanremo 2023 song, while Bob Sinclair gave us a fun and upbeat DJ set on the floating stage.
Co-host Giorgia took the stage to perform as well. She sang her song 'e poi' (Sanremo 1994) as this year marks 30 years since its release. Later on, she also performed a medley of some of her most popular songs, including "Ononero.'
Tomorrow, for Night 3, the remaining 15 artists will take the stage with their songs. The top five from Night 3 will be revealed at the end of the show in the same way the top five were revealed tonight. Co-hosting tomorrow will be Teresa Mannino.

Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest
Italy has participated in 48 Eurovision contests. They have won three times:
- 1964: Gigliola Cinquetti – Non Ho L'étà
- 1990: Toto Cutugno – Insieme: 1992
- 2021: Måneskin – Zitti e buoni
Their worst result came in 1966, when they finished last.
Italy's most well-known song is "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu," better known as "Volare" from 1958. It is also the most covered Eurovision Song Contest song ever. The song has been covered by famous stars such as Dean Martin, Cliff Richard, David Bowie and many more.
Italy took a long pause from the Eurovision Song Contest between 1998 and 2010. Since then, Italy has been a "Big-5" country, which means they don't have to go through the Semi-final round and are automatically qualified for the Grand Final.
