Eighty yearning for Sanremo: 1980, the Claudio Cecchetto Festival

1980the Festival sees the light again after the dark of the 70s. Totally Cutugno, in his debut as a soloist, got the better of the favorite of the day before, Gianni Morandi, who was forced to settle for fourth place. To present the singers in the competition, an exceptional trio: Roberto Benignithe actress Olympia Carlisi and the DJ Claudio Cecchetto. And it is he, the youngest presenter in the history of the Festival (he was only 27 years old), the first guest called to talk about an unforgettable decade.

Eighty yearning for Sanremo is a podcast by Vanity Fair in ten episodes, written and conducted by Federico Rocca And Andrew Tomasi. Each episode tells a year in the history of the Festival, from 1980 to 1989the decade that established the musical event as the most popular, followed and important television (and not only) moment of the year. Memories and anecdotes mingle with tales of an always different guestprotagonist on the Ariston stage in the year in question.

To close each episode, the ranking of the three most memorable looks of the year entrusted to the stylist of the stars and creative director Nick Cerions.
