Italy: Results of the fourth night of Sanremo 2021
All the 26 competing songs were performed for the second time and with one night to go, here is the result of the fourth night of Sanremo 2021
Italy is nearing it's end of Festival di Sanremo 2021, which serves as their national for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
After three nights, the provisional top 10 classification was revealed with Ermal Meta in the lead. Ermal is no stranger to Eurovision as he represented Italy in 2018 as a duo with Fabrizio Moro with the song "Non mi avete fatto niente".
Tonight, during the fourth night, all twenty six competing artists took once again the stage to perform their song but at the end of the show, the ranking of the press jury voting was revealed.
After the press jury revelation, a revised top 10 classification which took into account all four nights, was announced with Ermal Meta still in the lead. This classification will be taken into consideration after adding the public vote during the first round on the final night.
Saturday we will know the overall standings of the 71th edition of Festival di Sanremo. The public will be able to vote and the three superfinalists will be decided after adding up the public vote together with the previous nights average provisional rankings. For the superfinal round, all votes will be zeroed so the winner will be decided by the combination of votes from the demoscopic jury (33%), the press jury (33%) and the public vote (34%).
