Congratulations to Amadeus, Rai, the singers and artists and of course the public. An audience of many Italians and full of youth”. Thus the CEO of Rai Carlo Fuortes, commenting on tonight’s Auditel data as he left the building for the Sanremo Festival press conference
Marco Mengoni’s edition
He is the very favourite, remains at the top of the provisional ranking and also wins the evening dedicated to covers with “Let it be”, accompanied by the Kingdom Choir gospel choir.
The evening, which has always been one of the most loved by the public, saw many artists grappling with some of the most famous pieces of Italian music. Several have chosen their own songs or those of their guests, but there have also been much more curious and risky choices. In particular Colapesce Dimartino with Carla Bruni in “Azzurro” by Adriano Celentano; the Coma_Cose with the Baustelle in “It will be because I love you” by Ricchi e Poveri; Rosa Chemical with Rose Villain in “America” by Gianna Nannini; and then Shari with Salmo in a sugar medley. Other heavyweight medleys are dedicated to Eros Ramazzotti and Edoardo Bennato, on stage to retrace them together with, respectively, Ultimo and Leo Gassman. However, the most thunderous applause is for Giorgia and Elisa.
The memory of the sinkholes
After the controversies and numerous appeals from the world of politics, the Festival has dedicated a space to Remembrance Day, which falls on February 10th. Amadeus has read one of the most dramatic passages of “The girl with the suitcase” by Egea Haffner, one of the most famous testimonies of the drama of the exiles of Istria and Dalmatia, and mentions the tragedy of the sinkholes and the exodus.
Fedez provocative again
There is also room for another anti-government lash, this time good-natured, by the usual Fedez, who invites Giorgia Meloni to legalize marijuana after the medley with Article 31.
The tribute to Peppino di Capri
