Amadeus e Fiorello on the Nine. Welcomed by Fabio Fazio e Luciana Littizzetto a What’s the weather like, the artistic director and his sidekick appeared via connection from Sanremo, distracted by the Inter-Juventus match in progress, with the shirt with Thuram’s autograph with the number nine and the Nerazzurri scarf clearly visible. “We’re on the Nine, we can’t watch the match on Dazn” jokes Fiorello. And Amadeus: “How many releases Rai has given us in one fell swoop.”
“He must speak little” begins Amadeus referring to his friend. “I am a corporate person and the Rai top management told me that I must not talk too much with you, I must not exaggerate” said Fiorello, “but the fact that you invited us shows that you remain a Rai man paid by others, and this thing here at Rai I like it alot”. “I spent 40 years in Rai, I’m not an enemy, and then I bring luck” replies Fazio. And Amadeus adds: “I’m superstitious and I couldn’t skip this link.”

Are we talking about the fifth or sixth Festival, asks Fazio. “The next one won’t be there, he promised me”, says Fiorello, “he ends up here and consequently so do I, also out of respect for the public who can’t take it anymore”. And Fazio insists: “Will you do it, Fiorello?” “No, absolutely. We will open a page on Onlyfans”, replies the showman. “Let’s do the fifth in the meantime”, Amadeus intervenes, “it’s our festival, Fiore has always been there and will be there again this year, but he won’t be able to go on stage before Saturday”. “I’ll do the after-festival, then every now and then I’ll intervene”, says Fiorello, “on the last evening I’ll be coco so I’ll finally present the competing artists”.

Fazio then opens the topic of the duration of the Sanremo evenings. Amadeus admits: the festival will end “not before 2am”. “Will you go on air later?” Fazio asks Fiorello. “I’m used to going on air at 6 in the morning”, replies the Sicilian showman. The transmission is interrupted by the ‘fogged’ hackers of Long live Rai2: “The Rai leaders sent us, we will tell you some horrible jokes so the share will drop”.

“Good luck” says Fazio, greeting the two hugging ones, “we will be with you in this beautiful week to cheer you on”. “It’s a shame that you’re there, if you were here we would hug you too”, Amadeus takes his leave. “Thanks to Rai for having allowed us this connection, I hope it is the beginning of a newfound serenity that we all want” concludes Fazio.

After Fazio’s farewell to Rai and the tensions with Viale Mazzini linked to the brand of What’s the weather like, the connection with Amadeus is the first sign of détente from the leaders of Viale Mazzini towards the former Rai 3 presenter who in the recent past had complained about the fact of not being able to have in his programme, as always happened until the last edition, the winner of the festival. “These are editorial choices that are endorsed by the top management of the company” the general director of Rai had commented in the morning, Giampaolo Rossi. “I believe that those who take care of the editorial and promotional aspect have considered the validity of the project” he added, replying to reporters on board the Rome-Sanremo train organized by Rai and Trenitalia.
