Sanremo 2021: Valerio Lundini and his “piece” of gold

When there is a void in the schedule, he usually puts a piece of it. This time, however, Valerio Lundini he is not called to patch up, but to get on stage and be the protagonist. At the third evening of the Sanremo Festival, the one dedicated to the covers, he will tread the Ariston together with Lightning and to Roy Paci to perform a very special version of Think positive by Jovanotti, a song that will be declined in a light-comic key that will allow Lundini, which Fulminacci himself defined “One of the greatest intellectuals of our time”, to get the closest step to consecration that exists in the world.

Thanks to A piece of Lundini, the program that aired on Raidue late at night that bewitched the niche that hadn’t seen it in Jokes? and atOther Festival, Lundini, 34 years old, from Rome, actor, director, joke and humorist, entered the hearts of the spectators who saw in him the natural heir of Nino Frassica.

The strength of his comedy is, in fact, that cynicism disguised as stoccafissismo that drives those around him crazy because he doesn’t know if what he says should be taken seriously or not. Thanks to his surreal interviews, those that make the guest uncomfortable, forced to compete with an improvised conductor who dissumulates (badly) the fact of not having prepared and not having obtained information about the guest himself, Lundini unhinges the rules and enjoys seeing the certainties of those who listen to him dissolve, of those who are quite convinced that they will go there, do their homework, carry out their promotional duties and then be able to leave without being hurt.

If we add to this the passion for music – he is a musician in the VazzaNikki band – and the release of his first book – The book was better (Rizzoli Lizard), a name that is all a program – we understand why we will still hear about Valerio Lundini. It is very likely that the mainstream public of Sanremo has never seen or heard of him, but something tells us that this will not be a deterrent, but yet another point from which to start to feed his character. The secret weapon of a true comedian, on the other hand, is to transform what he does not know into highly known truth and Lundini – who will also meet Emanuela Fanelli in Sanremo, that will appear in the number to the Welfare State – it is highly capable of it. One who says that Fulminacci, the artist who contacted him, is competing with a beautiful song, “but that it is the only one he hasn’t heard”, cannot but deserve the success he has, or not?
