ANGELINA MANGO - LA NOIA
Debutant. Talent show Amici runner up last year has had a very successful year and Sanremo could be her crowning moment. Her father Mango was a fantastic singer and multiple Sanremo participant who sadly died on stage during his concert in 2014. Her mother Laura Valente. also a singer, was Matia Bazar's singer for awhile and participated with them in Sanremo as well. Will Angelina outdo her parents?

Usually she has placed at the bottom half, caused a scandal or two, created chaos and disapprove but now at 73 she's more popular than ever. Her last two participation have finished at 4th place and now she's 5th in the odds. Who knows, maybe she's in for a surprise!
