The 73rd Sanremo Song Festival did
well again on Wednesday after making a flying start on its
opening night Tuesday, attracting an average of 10.545 million
viewers to State broadcaster Rai's flagship channel, 62.3% of
the audience share.
That compares to the 11.32 million viewers and 55.8% of the
share registered on the equivalent night last year.
Wednesday's audience share figure was the highest for a second
night of the festival since 1995.
The week-long festival, which runs until Saturday, revolves
around a best-song competition.
A national institution that inspired the Eurovision song
contest, it helped launch the careers of many of Italy's top
music stars, such as Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and
Maneskin.
The winner gets to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song
Contest.
Singer Marco Mengoni remained top of the standings of the 2023
competition after the second night's performances.
