Rome – The second evening of the Sanremo Festival 2025 ended without a hitch and right on time, an event that attracted great participation and a lively atmosphere. Carlo Conti hosted the broadcast together with co-hosts Bianca Balti, Cristiano Malgioglio and Nino Frassica, presenting performances by 15 of the 29 contestants in the competition and the four New Proposals who triumphed at Sanremo Giovani.
The co-hosts
For the second evening of the Festival, Conti chose to be joined by three co-hosts: Bianca Balti, Cristiano Malgioglio and Nino Frassica. Their lively personalities put the artistic director's punctuality to the test, but at the same time created moments of great fun. Among the gags, the style contest between the model and the singer-songwriter stood out, culminating in a waltz, and the comedian's 'lippro' on Cristiano, which certainly wasn't well received by the person concerned. Numerous laughs characterized the evening.
The guests
The super guest of this episode was Damiano David, who has become an international star with the launch of his solo project. During his performance, accompanied by his girlfriend Cameron Dove in the audience, he performed 'Felicità' by Lucio Dalla, also inviting the actor Alessandro Borghi and his nephew Vittorio Bonvicini on stage, who showed his emotion at the end of the performance. Damiano then performed 'Born with a broken heart', his latest song. Big Mama then enchanted from the Suzuki Stage with 'La rabbia non ti basta', the song presented last year.
Carlo Conti also welcomed the stars of the new Rai Fiction film 'Champagne', dedicated to Peppino Di Capri, including Francesco Del Gaudio and Alessandro Gervasi, the latter who impressed the audience by playing the piano. Vittoria Puccini also took part in the evening, presenting the new Rai fiction 'Belcanto'. Pilar Fogliati and Edoardo Leo presented 'FolleMente', the new film by Paolo Genovese, joining the cast for a musical performance. Finally, Carolina Kostner, ambassador of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, spoke about the journey of the Olympic flame.
The New Proposals: the two finalists
The evening opened with the semifinals of the Newcomers category, where Alex Wyse triumphed with 'Rockstar' against Vale LP and Lil Jolie. Maria Tomba and Settembre participated in another duel, with the latter prevailing. The final will take place on the third evening of the event, with particular attention to the messages transmitted during the performances, in particular by the young Venetian singer and the duo from Campania, who recalled important themes related to consent.
The Big Ranking
In the second evening's Big ranking, the most voted were:
– Georgie
– Simone Cristicchi
– Fedez
– Achille Lauro
– Lucio Corsi
The ranking, almost stable compared to the first evening, saw the only change represented by the entrance of Fedez to replace Brunori Sas, absent in this episode.

Very interesting this article about Sanremo, I liked how the evening was presented. Carlo Conti did a good job, but some gags were not as funny as I hoped. Anyway, nice music.
