The Sanremo Music Festival 2017 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2017), officially the 67th Italian Song Festival (Italian: 67º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 67th annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, Liguria, between 7 and 11 February 2017, organised and broadcast by RAI. The show was hosted by Carlo Conti, who was also the artistic director of the competition, and Maria De Filippi. Each evening show included a satirical sketch by Maurizio Crozza.

The winner of the contest's main section was Francesco Gabbani, performing the song "Occidentali's Karma". As a result, he earned the right to represent at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. Lele received first prize in the Newcomers' section, with his song "Ora mai".

Format

The Sanremo Music Festival 2017 took place at the Teatro Ariston. The authors of the 67th edition were Carlo Conti, Ivana Sabatini, Leopoldo Siano, Emanuele Giovannini, Martino Clericetti, Riccardo Cassini, Mario D'Amico and Giancarlo Leone. Maurizio Pagnussat was the show's television director, while Pinuccio Pirazzoli directed the orchestra.[1] [2] The scenography, designed by Riccardo Bocchini for the third consecutive year, was based on the concept of popups, and it was revealed by RAI in late January.[3]

Presenters

Television presenter Carlo Conti, who was also the competition's artistic director, hosted the Sanremo Music Festival for a third consecutive year in 2017. Conti was joined by Maria De Filippi, one of the most popular Italian TV celebrities and the presenter of several shows broadcast by Canale 5, the main private television network in Italy. Italian comedian Maurizio Crozza also had a minor role, performing political satire sketches during each show.[4]

Voting

Voting during the five evenings occurred through different combinations of four methods:[5]

Costs and incomes

The overall costs for the Sanremo Music Festival 2017 amounted to €16 million. Carlo Conti's compensation amounted to €650,000, while Maurizio Crozza received €120,000 for his performances.[8] Maria De Filippi refused any compensation, and presented the festival for free.[9]

In January 2017, RAI announced an expected income of more than €25.5 million, including €23 million from sponsorships.[10] [11] Ticket prices to attend the Sanremo Music Festival 2017 at the Teatro Ariston ranged from €100 for a balcony seat, up to €672 for a ticket in the stalls area during the grand final.[12]

Selections

Newcomers' section

The artists competing in the Newcomers' section were selected through two separate contests. Area Sanremo, organized by the comune of Sanremo, selected two entries of the main competition, while the remaining six artists where chosen through Sanremo Giovani, created by RAI.

Area Sanremo

Area Sanremo 2016 was a contest created by the comune of Sanremo. In August and September 2016, an itinerant series of lessons involving Italian music schools and cultural associations, named Area Sanremo Tour, was organized to encourage artists to compete in the contest.[13] 412 songs entered Area Sanremo.[14] In October 2016, a series of lessons about music and the music industry was offered to all competing artists.[14] On 2 November 2016, competing artists were reduced to 70 acts, selected by a commission composed of Massimo Cotto, which also presided it, Stefano Senardi, also serving as the artistic director of the event, and Maurizio Caridi.[15] Cotto, Senardi and Caridi, together with Antonio Vandoni and Andrea Mirò, also composed the commission which selected the 8 winners of the contest—Braschi, Andrea Corona, Marika Adele, Carlo Bolacchi, Carmen Alessandrello, Ylenia Lucisano, Valeria Farinacci and Diego Esposito—which were announced on 12 November 2016.[16] [17] Finally, RAI chose two acts among the eight winners—Braschi and Valeria Farinacci—which were allowed to compete in the Newcomers' section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2017. The selected entries were announced by Carlo Conti on 12 December 2016, during the TV show Sarà Sanremo.[18]

Sanremo Giovani

The contest organized by RAI to select six of the eight contestants of the Newcomers' section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2017 was named Sanremo Giovani. 560 acts entered the contest.[19] On 21 October 2016, an internal commission reduced the number of competing artists to 60, eliminating the remaining ones. Following the rules of the contest, the winner of the singing contest Castrocaro Music Festival 2016—Ethan Lara—was also allowed to compete in the following phase of the competition as an additional entry.[20] On 25 October 2016, the 61 selected acts auditioned in Rome.[20] Following their performances, 12 artists, announced on 4 November 2016, were selected as the finalists of Sanremo Giovani.[19] The final of the contest was held during the TV show Sarà Sanremo on 12 December 2016. Artists performed their songs in 4 different groups. One artist for each group was eliminated.

Group 1[21]
Group 2[21]
Group 3[21]
Group 4[21]

Finally, among the 8 remaining artists, two were eliminated as a result of a new voting. In both phases, eliminations were decided by a jury, composed of Massimo Ranieri, Fabio Canino, Anna Foglietta, Amadeus and Andrea Delogu.[18] Francesco Guasti, Lele, Leonardo Lamacchia, Maldestro, Marianne Mirage and Tommaso Pini were chosen as contestants of the Newcomers' section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2017.[18] [21]

Big Artists section

The artists competing in the Big Artists section were selected by an internal commission and announced by Carlo Conti on 12 December 2016, during the TV show Sarà Sanremo.[22] According to the rules of the 2017 contest, competing artists should have been 20 but, on 6 December 2016, Carlo Conti decided to change the rules, increasing the number of entries to 22.[23]
