Tonight: Italy announces its entry during Sanremo Final
Baku, February 18 (AZERTAC). Tonight one of the acts participating in the 2012 Festival di Sanremo will be named as the Italian entry for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, eurovision.tv said.
Azerbaijan`s Eurovision winning duo in 2011 Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal will announce the representative of Italy in 2012 in the final of Sanremo festival.
The 2012 Festival di Sanremo has been taking place since Tuesday this week with the participation of 22 entries divided into the two traditional categories of established artists, "Artisti", and the newcomers, called "Giovani".
Just like last year, when Italy made a spectacular return to the Eurovision Song Contest placing second in the Final in Düsseldorf, the Italian entry for 2012 will be picked from those competing in Sanremo. Last year it was Raphael Gualazzi, the winner of the newcomer`s category, who got the Eurovision ticket with Follia D`Amore/Madness Of Love.
