After Settembre, winner in the “New Proposals” category, the Sanremo Festival has awarded its second prize. At the end of the fourth and penultimate evening of the Ariston festival, dedicated to covers and duets, Giorgia and Annalisa were announced as winners with their interpretation of “Skyfall” by Adele.

The success of the artists is the result of a global vote that weighed 34% on the televoting, 33% on the press room, TV and web jury and 33% on the radio jury. Once all 29 competing artists had completed their performances, the televoting was closed and the ranking was processed. It is worth noting that, unlike the previous evenings, the result of this stage will not affect the final ranking of Sanremo 2025.
Carlo Conti, supported by co-hosts Geppi Cucciari and Mahmood, proclaimed Giorgia and Annalisa as winners, both already among the favorites for next year.

Video Chronicles
I found Giorgia and Annalisa's interpretation of Skyfall very interesting, but I wonder if this kind of song could be successful in the future. Were the juries balanced in their judgment or were there some preferences?
