The Sanremo Music Festival 2021 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2021), officially the 71st Italian Song Festival (71º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 71st edition of the annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held in the Teatro Ariston of Sanremo, organised and broadcast by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI). The show was held between 2 and 6 March 2021.[1][2] The show was presented by Amadeus, who also served as the artistic director for the competition. Fiorello returned as co-host after appearing as a regular guest in the previous edition.[2]
The festival was won by Måneskin with the song "Zitti e buoni"; their victory earned them the right to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, which they went on to win as well. Gaudiano won the Newcomers' section with "Polvere da sparo".
Format
The 2021 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival took place at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, organized by the Italian public broadcaster RAI. The artistic director and the presenter for the competition was Amadeus, for the second consecutive year.
For the first time in the event's history, the Festival took place without a live audience, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
Presenters
Shortly after the end of the 2020 edition, RAI officially confirmed Amadeus as the presenter of the 71st edition of the Sanremo Music Festival. Together with Amadeus, Italian comedian and television presenter Fiorello returned, after appearing as a regular guest in the previous edition, to cover the role of co-host.[2] Alongside Amadeus and Fiorello, five co-hosts alternated during the five evenings: Matilda De Angelis, Elodie, Vittoria Ceretti, Barbara Palombelli and Beatrice Venezi.[5][6][7][8] British supermodel Naomi Campbell was set to participate as co-host in the first evening, but due to restrictions imposed in the United States for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic, she had to give up the aforementioned role.[9][10]
