Sanremo 2021, and if the public were on a ship? The “Love Boat” hypothesis is being examined

For now it is a hypothesis, one of the many under consideration, but the idea of ​​a “bubble”, a protected place without contact with the outside world, to have the public at Sanremo Festival it is certainly popular. Sanremo is not without an audience to applaud and also wanting to whistle. And then the solution must be found while maintaining distance and safety.

As the NBA basketball championship did by taking the players to an armored Disneyworld in Florida to finish the championship, a no Covid zone would also be created in Sanremo.

Not on land, but at sea. 400 spectators, previously subjected to swab, would be isolated on the Costa Cruises ship Smeralda until March 2, starting date, according to Dagospia. The spectators would then be accompanied to the Ariston theater only at the last with tenders and minibuses.

Rai would have confirmed that the “Love Boat” idea, as it has already been defined, is one of the hypotheses being considered for manage attendance at the festival which runs from 2 to 6 March. Another idea would be to put spectators in a limited number of hotels and subject them to strict controls.

Only technicians and insiders would go to the Ariston (with the current Dpcm theaters and cinemas are closed and no reopening date has been indicated), the press room would be moved to the Palafiori. Swabs will be done regularly. They are all security measures for a festival that wants to be a moment of rebirth (and brings revenues like few other events to Rai), but which cannot fail to take into account a pandemic that is still underway.

Antonio Marano, at the helm of Rai Pubblicità until January, explained to Republic: «Thanks to the artistic direction of Amadeus and the perception of a Festival of rebirth, it will be an event that could mark the reopening of Italy. Always covid permitting, the next Sanremo will be better than that of 2020 ». The final management decision will only be made at the end of January.
