Yesterday the first evening of the sanremo festival of italian song and music took place. I haven’t watched it due to various commitments but it seems that the first evening lived up to expectations. In fact, this Sanremo had the record number of listeners in recent years, reaching a 62% share.
Furthermore, this year for the first time the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella was present at the Ariston theater in Sanremo. The expectations
have probably increased in recent days when it was announced that Zelensky would no longer participate in the last evening, after the storm of criticism in choosing to have the Ukrainian president. In terms of songs, I think it’s a recovering Sanremo although there are some unusual or out of the standard episodes such as the destruction of the stage flowers by the singer Blanco.
