The Sanremo Music Festival 2020 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2020), officially the 70th Italian Song Festival (70º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 70th edition of the annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held at the Teatro Ariston of Sanremo and organised and broadcast by RAI. The show was held between 4 and 8 February 2020^[1][2][3] and was presented by Amadeus, who also served as the artistic director for the competition, alongside Fiorello.^[2][3][4]

The competition was divided in two sections. The winner of the Big Artists section was Diodato with the song "Fai rumore", while Leo Gassmann won the Newcomers' section with "Vai bene così". As a result of his victory, Diodato earned the right to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020; however, after the contest's cancellation, Diodato performed "Fai rumore" in the non-competitive replacement show Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light.
