Amadeus, Fiorello and the jokes on the eve of Sanremo 2021: “We are already thinking about next year”

The start is now (really) very little. Sanremo Festival number 71, the first in was Covid. Armored festival, without audience, with singers who will prepare themselves in the hotel and daily tampons. But, they all repeat, what matters is to be able to sing, to be on the only stage where it can be done right now. Excite.

Hosts, Amadeus and his friend Fiorello. Who, on the eve, in connection with Domenica In likes to joke: «I have the scoop of the year. Ama told me at 11.

30, he came to my room in his pajamas and said: I want to play Sanremo ter next year, because this is the year of rebirth, next year I want to enjoy the boom ». “And he replied, know that I will never leave you,” echoed Amadeus. Because if the forecasts for next year usually arrive during the last evening, this year everything is valid.

And Ama plays the game: “I neither confirm nor deny”. What matters most now is to bring home this very complicated edition: “The Festival”, he continued, “has its own magic, it is the history of Italian music, of customs, of the country” and for this very reason “It was so important not to stop him.” Because «it is a sign of reopening for the music sector that has suffered so much. We hope that from here we can reopen to a normal life ».

Meanwhile, among the guests who will go up on stage is added Mahmood. «It is one of the symbols of the renewal of Sanremo. He is a guest on the evening of the New Proposals », explained the conductor and artistic director of the Festival a Republic, “Mahmood was born here, on this stage. I am very happy that he is coming ». It will happen on Friday. The great guest of the first evening is, however, Diodato, last year’s winner: «Let’s open with Diodato e Make noise, not only because he won last year but because his beautiful song became an anthem during the lockdown ».

The other guests? In addition to Achille Lauro, who will be present every evening and “will give us five paintings”, Zlatan Ibrahimovic (who in one of his four appearances will be together with the Bologna manager, Sinisa Mihailovic), Alessandra Amoroso, i Negramaro, The flight in a tribute to Ennio Morricone, Alex Schwazer (just acquitted of doping charge), Loredana Bertè, Ornella Vanoni with Francesco Gabbani on the final evening of Saturday (they will sing A smile inside the tears), Alberto Tomba e Federica Pellegrini.
