Einar is shown without songtitle as of yet because a new song entirely will be written for him for the grand San Remo festival!

Among the announced finalists we see cherished names as Paola Turci, Loredana Bertè and Anna Tatangelo.
Nek is also making a return after coming 2nd in San Remo 2015 with ‘Fatti avanti amore’ and so are the guys that grabbed 1st place before him back then: Il Volo!
The boys reached a spectacular 3rd place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna with the anthemic ‘Grande amore’, earning them a landslide win with the televoters:

This evening the remaining eleven big names plus one newcomer will be revealed, so stay tuned!
