The released split result from yesterday’s final of Sanremo shows that Il Volo clearly won the hearts of the Italian public. Malika was prefered with the expert jury while the demographical group had Nek in first position. A true split, that is what happened in Italy last night.
It was pretty fast clear that the victory of the 65th edition of Sanremo would be a race between Nek and Il Volo, and that was also what happend. In the end Il Volo pulled through as the winner while Nek came second.
A split result released today shows that the Italian public totally embraced Il Volo, while the demographical group and the expert jury wasn’t convinced.
