As a child Lorella Cuccarini watched Sanremo on TV with her mother. To then get there as a protagonist. Four times plus one. The first in '87 with Pippo Baudo, at the time she was a dancer at the Palarock. In 1993 she co-hosted Baudo himself, competing two years later, as a guest in the 2010 final (with a supersexy “guitar dress” that she made people talk) and in the 2023 edition together with the young Olly. It is added to the list the fourth and penultimate evening of this edition, that of duets. «There is still a lot of emotion», he says in the press conference. «Sanremo is always Sanremo for me too. But I hope that experience and my 58 years help. I break the ice with a moment of spectacle.” And then he assures: «Yes, The night flies it will be. Amadeus gave me no choice (laughsed.)”.
The tape rewinds to phone call from Amadeus to invite Lorellapreceded by a message the evening before: «The motivation moved me deeply». Then, flash forward to the present, or rather to Travoltagate, to ask Cuccarini if he is here to support the artistic director in slaloming between Qua Qua ballets and safety shoes: «Ama doesn't need to be supported, because it stands up on its own». And he continues: «They are the national-popular share of this Festival. I don't feel like a guest, I feel at home: I have an excellent relationship with Rai, it is the company that gave me success. Next year I will celebrate 40 of my career. I'm very happy where I am now (Friendsed.), because I have rediscovered the pleasure of doing variety and entertainment. But I don't rule out returning here, never say never».
A thought for the young people who are bringing to Sanremo the themes of fragility and mental distress. «I don't only have this type of experience in my family, but also in ad Friends: our kids are actually particularly fragile after the tiring years of Covid. Here because it is essential for us parents to listen when they speak to us, but above all their silences, interpret them, give space to what they don't tell us».
The definitive advice to Lorella Cuccarini comes from Enrico Lucci by Striscia La Notizianow an expected guest at every press conference: «Don't let Ama call you “the most loved by Italians”which takes a moment to think about kitchens” (and the hidden spoiler).
