The Teatro Ariston, traditional venue of the festival, during the 2013 edition

The Sanremo Music Festival 2013 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2013), officially the 63rd Italian Song Festival (63º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 63rd annual Sanremo Music Festival, a televised song contest held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, Liguria, between 12 and 16 February 2013 and broadcast by Rai 1. The show was presented by Fabio Fazio with Italian comedy actress Luciana Littizzetto.

The competition featured two different sections. The Big Artists section included 14 established Italian artists, competing with two songs each. During the semi-finals, a song for each artist was eliminated as a result of votes received by public and journalists. On 16 February 2013, Marco Mengoni, based on a combination of televotes and points awarded by a jury,[1] was announced the winner of the competition, with his song "L'essenziale". The Newcomers' section featured eight songs performed by debuting or little known artists. On 13 and 14 February 2013, music journalists and televotes determined the four finalists of the competition. The final winner of the Newcomers' section, Antonio Maggio with the song "Mi servirebbe sapere", was announced on 15 February 2013, based on points awarded by a jury and on televotes.[1]

On 24 January 2013, it was also announced that, as in 2011 and in 2012, an internal commission would select the artist representing Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 among all the competing acts.[2] During the final, Marco Mengoni was announced as the Italian entrant with "L'essenziale".[3]

Immediately after Gianni Morandi, who presented the contest in 2011 and 2012, announced he didn't want to return to the Sanremo Music Festival for a third consecutive year, Fabio Fazio started being considered for the role. On 11 January 2012, Adnkronos revealed Fazio had signed with RAI, and on 18 January 2012, while presenting RAI's schedules for the second half of 2012 and the first part of 2013, Giancarlo Leone, then president of RAI's entertainment branch, officially announced Fazio as the presenter of the contest.[4][5] Fazio, who had previously presented the contest in 1999 and in 2000, invited Italian comedy actress Luciana Littizzetto to join him, and Littizzetto confirmed her involvement as co-presenter on 30 September 2012, during Fazio's TV show Che tempo che fa.[6][7]

Fabio Fazio was also chosen as the artistic director of the show,[7] while Mauro Pagani was later chosen as the music director.[8] Pagani also conducted the Sanremo Festival Orchestra.[9] For the first time, the scenography was created by Francesca Montinaro.[10] The show was directed by Duccio Forzano.[11]
