Final evening for “Canzonissima”, airing tonight in prime time on Rai1. The remake of the historic variety show, hosted by Milly Carlucci, closes with an episode built around the theme of the "triumph of the heart", entrusted to the cast's performances. Here is the lineup of performances:

Enrico Ruggeri – “Peter Pan”
Fabrizio Moro – “Portami via”
Leo Gassmann – “Girasole”
Michele Bravi – “Genitore 3”
Fausto Leali – “Mi manchi”
Malika Ayane – “Senza fare sul serio”
Irene Grandi – “Bruci la città”
Elettra Lamborghini – “Voilà”
Arisa – “Canta ancora”
Vittorio Grigolo – “E lucevan le stelle”
Jalisse – “Fiumi di parole”
Elio e le Storie Tese – “Servi della gleba”
Riccardo Cocciante – “Margherita”

The outcome of the evening will be decided by three components: a jury made up of Claudio Cecchetto, Francesca Fialdini, Pierluigi Pardo, Riccardo Rossi, Simona Izzo, Caterina Balivo and Giacomo Maiolini; the vote of the competing artists themselves, asked to name a favourite excluding their own performance; and the audience, through social media interactions based on “hearts” and “likes”, following the same mechanism already used on “Ballando con le stelle”.

The winning song will join the season's roll of honour, which so far has crowned Fabrizio Moro with “Il mio canto libero”, Arisa with “La leva calcistica della classe ’68”, Vittorio Grigolo with “Caruso”, Arisa again with “La notte”, and Leo Gassmann with “Un senso”. At the end of the episode, the Canzonissima of this edition will be announced.
