The cover night promises to be one of the most anticipated events of the Sanremo Festival, representing a crucial passage between the phases of the competition.
Tonight, the 29 Big singers will perform a series of performances that will span different genres, showcasing a variety of both Italian and international artists. The voting system will be divided into three parts: 34% Televoting, 33% Press Room Jury and 33% Radio Jury. However, it is important to underline that the results of this evening will not influence the final ranking of the Festival.
The evolving ranking
At the end of the third evening, two provisional rankings were drawn up among the competing singers.

It seems to me that this edition of Sanremo is particularly rich in interesting artists, and the covers chosen are very varied. I await the performances with curiosity, even if I do not know if the results are as influential as they say.
