From the street to the stage, i network favorites
Till today, the views of the performances of the various evenings on Youtube, smile at saxophonist Daniele Vitale, guitarist Emanuel Victor, pianist Davide Martello and singers Alessia Fabiano and Kouya. But it will not be the network that decides, but the audience in the room and the two “important passersby” who, tonight for the final, are Ilenia Pastorelli and Nino Frassica. And this time the chair to sit down will be only one and not 5 as it was for the three selection bids.
Nek, moral winner of From the street to the stage
While waiting to know who among the 15 finalists will celebrate tonight, the program already has some winners and they are not street artists. The first moral winner of From the street to the stage is its conductor, Filippo Neviani we all know as Nek. At his debut in a role that was not hers until yesterday, the Modenese singer has shown that he knows how to get by very well. The Modenese singer managed the timing of the show well, got involved and proved empathetic with the competitors. He also interacted smoothly with “important passersby”the special guests who have had (and will also have it in tonight’s episode) the opportunity to judge the artists’ performances together with the public.
From the street to the stagethe bet of Coletta and Conti
Other moral winners of the show are Carlo Conti and Stefano Coletta. The former suggested the idea for the program and co-signed it together with other authors. The second, director of Rai Prime Time Entertainment, decided to experiment with the new format entrusting its co-production to Stand by me, and wanted Nek to run.

Rewarded by the ratings
To agree with the 3 musketeers Coletta-Conti-Nek are the ratings of the program that went far beyond those of the prime time of Rai2. Party with just over 1 million viewers and 7.51% share, From the street to the stage closed the third episode with 1.2 million viewers and a 9.9% share with audience peaks of 14%. It is mainly young people aged 20 to 34 who watch it. If this is the path chosen to relaunch Rai2, the climb will be a little less steep.
