The winner of Festival di Sanremo 2022 will have the chance to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 on the home soil in Turin. Italy will choose the winner on February 5th. The winner will be decided with a combination of the votes by the Italian public, the press jury and the demoscopic jury.
