Aged 56, Sal da Vinci is the son of Mario Da Vinci and a Neapolitan music singer. The two have also performed in shows together. Sal Da Vinci also participated in Sanremo in 2009 when he finished third.

This year's edition was the last one presented by Carlo Conti. Next year, the Sanremo Festival, which is also broadcast in Romania, will be led by Rai 1 stars Stefano De Martino and Antonella Clerici.
