Sanremo 2014 – Photo RAI

Italy has used the annual Sanremo Song Festival to select their artist for Eurovision since they returned to the contest in 2011. It has not been confirmed officially by RAI (Italian National Broadcaster) if this will be the case for 2014.

In the meantime the details of the 14 artists that will compete in the “Campioni Category” have been announced and we see that Raphael Gualazzi  (who came second at Eurovision 2011) is returning to the Sanremo Festival.

The 14 acts that will compete in the Campioni category will perform 2 songs each.
