Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro
were readmitted to the Sanremo song fest Thursday after an
inquiry found their song 'Non mi avete fatto niente' complies
with rules on original new work.
The duo were to have performed Wednesday night but they were
replaced by Renzo Rubino.
They will now perform tonight, Thursday.
The song was found to contain tunes from a song, 'Silenzio',
presented at Sanremo Giovani in 2016, but for less than a third
of the song's duration.
"Therefore the circumstance that the track has already been
used does not undermine the novelty of the competing song,"
State broadcaster RAI said in a statement.
