ITALY – Unlike previous editions, the Newcomers’ section was not included in the Sanremo Festival, but a similar selection was held to decree the three places reserved in the Big Artist section. The artists competing in the new format were selected through two separate contests: Standard section and Area Sanremo.
On October 20, 2021, RAI Commission for Sanremo Music Festival 2022 announced a list of 711 acts, but only 30 artists coming from all Italian regions -excluding Basilicata and Valle d’Aosta- and from abroad were selected in the first phase.
On November 22, 2022, RAI Commission announced the eight finalists. The oikotimes poll predicted Tananai, Samia and Senza_Cri to proceed to the Sanremo Festival. During the show Amadeus presented the established artists and their song titles as well.
On December 15, 2021, the twelve finalists performed their songs at Sanremo Casino in Sanremo, with the show Sanremo Giovani 2021 broadcast on Rai 1 presented by Amadeus. The three winners of the night will participate in Sanremo 2022 with a new entry.
