On the night that will change everything, the 4 teams with 10 competing artists (THE TEAMS) will face the round of the Giostra: one after the other, for about a minute each, they will perform one of the songs performed during their journey. A round of covers will follow. At the end of the evening, all the votes will lead to a single ranking, in which the two least voted will have to leave the stage immediately, while the artists who come in third to last and fourth to last place will go to the judges' ballot. If they reach a majority, the contestant with at least three votes will be eliminated. If they are split in half, the fate of the two artists in the run-off will be decided by 200 seconds of televoting on Tilt.
Here are the songs from the cover round:

- camilla: I who don't live (without you) by Pino Donaggio
