It’s the third night at Sanremo Music Festival and it’s the first time we watch all the 28 songs together and the audience can vote for their favorites since the beginning of the Gala. In the end, the result will be combined with the votes of the demoscopic jury (composed of 1000 people) with a value of 50% of the total.
Some of the interesting facts about the night were:
Gianluca Grignani had technical issues and started the song again, joking about Blanco’s mishap saying "I reacted this way because I'm 50 and learned how to react. Thank goodness I'm not 20 anymore".
The singer Lazza gave the bouquet of flowers that was given to him after singing to his mother who was in the audience. Just so cute.
Maneskin's presentation was a mini concert of 4 songs, making what it didn’t happened on the Eurovision stage, but it is understandable because in Italy Sanremo is more important than the Eurofestival.
The gossip about two of the evening's competitors, Anna Oxa and Madame, after they argued backstage, and one spilled a glass of water at the other.
Other guest artists of the night were Tom Morello, Peppino Di Capri (Italy 1991), Sangiovanni, Massimo Rainieri (Italy 1971 and 1973), Annalisa and Guè.

Marco Mengoni reaffirms that he is the favorite to win the festival, and once again the six acts chosen through the Sanremo Giovanni Contest were relegated to the last 9 positions in the ranking.
Tomorrow the fourth gala of the Italian contest, called "Canzone d'autore", will be held. The twenty-eight artists will cover an Italian or international song from the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s, which they can perform alone or accompanied by another Italian or foreign artist.
