The second night of the 2025 Sanremo
Song Festival attracted an average of 11.7 million viewers or
64.5% of the TV audience share.
The event, hosted by presenter and artistic director Carlo
Conti, is broadcast by Rai1 and runs until Saturday.
It was co-hosted by 40-year-old supermodel Bianca Balti, who was
diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year, as well as by comedians
and TV personalities Nino Frassica and Cristiano Malgioglio.
Former Maneskin frontman Damiano David paid homage to late
Bologna singer and songwriter Lucio Dalla with a moving
performance of his 1988 song Felicità (Happiness), as the
evening's guest star.
The festival made a strong debut on its opening night Tuesday,
attracting an average of 12.6 million viewers, or 65.3% of the
audience share.
This year's audience includes for the first time small screen
viewers who tune in with a personal computer, smart phone or
tablet.
Last year, the second night of the popular TV jamboree and song
contest had attracted an average of 10.3 million viewers or
60.1% of the TV audience share.
That was slightly lower than the same night in 2023, when
average viewers stood at 10.6 million, equal to 62.3% of the
share.
