Sanremo 2022, Beppe Vessicchio positive at Covid

A few days before the start of the Sanremo Festival number 72, Beppe Vessicchio tested positive at Covid, even if he says he is fine and has no symptoms. “I’m home, positive. I had to send a replacement to rehearse with The Vibrations. I hope by Monday to regain my freedom and be able to reach Sanremo in time for the Festival “, the conductor told theAdnkronos, hoping to negativize himself in time to accompany Francesco Sarcina’s group on stage.

“I still have some hoarseness and so I want to wait a couple of days to swab. I don’t want to risk being positive again “, commented Vessicchio, who over the years has become a bit of the idol of social networks because, after all, a Sanremo without Beppe Vessicchio would be a bit like the game of beans without Raffaella Carrà. The funny thing is that his name has also bounced, as well as that of many others, from Valeria Marini to Alberto Angela, to take the place of Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinale. Even Alexa, Amazon’s personal assistant, to those who ask her these days to choose a president of the Republic responds with his name.

“I found out, it makes me laugh a lot. But the first to apply for me was Luciana Littizzetto, who always says that I would agree with everyone and that I also look good on banknotes because of my resemblance to Giuseppe Verdi portrayed on a thousand lire ”. On this year’s festival, however, Vessicchio did not hide the difficulty and concern: «This year with the enormous spread of the virus is perhaps even more complex than last year. They have already had several cases in the orchestra and choir. And in the choir, which naturally rehearses and performs without a mask, this means every time everyone stays at home for several days and summons others. It takes great patience. But I am confident ».
