We make you grace about the greetings and institutional thanks of the mayor Mager, to his first edition of the Festival and not too casual, and the councilor Sindoni. Marcello Ciannamea recalls Radio Due, Raiplay and Raiplaysound who contribute to this multi -platform and “inclusive” festival also for subtitling, audiodescription and story in the language of signs edited by Rai Public Utility. Claudio Fasulo (welcome back), rather moved, reports the after -festival – from Tuesday to Friday – conducted by Alessandro Cattelan, and the PrimaFestival, the Gaudioso mystery of a useless program, and the backfall that will be broadcast on February 16.

Carlo Conti recalls two special moments of his previous festivals (the participations of Sammy Basso and Ezio Bosso), cites Fabrizio Frizzi, invites his first two co-conveniences to the table, Antonella Clerici and Gerry Scotti, and anticipates the presence on Tuesday evening by Jovanotti And of the Israeli-Palestinian duet of Noa and Mira Awad on “Imagine”.

Questions begin after half an hour.

Carlo Conti: “I chose not to have monologues in the lineup; I would like to speak to everyone, avoid controversy and close the evenings in human time. There will also be fast reflections on important issues “.

Carlo Conti: “Among the songs presented I looked for the variety of themes, as I have already said several times.”

Carlo Conti: “About the post by Amedeo Minghi, who complains that there are two international singers and an unforgettable song like John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’.

Carlo Conti: “We have admitted Autoton because it is now a custom -cleared tool, we will try to make sure that it is used as a effect and not as a support for intonation”.

Gerry Scotti: “My company commissioned me to deliver a down payment for the organization of the next festival … I joke, of course. In Mediaset, I say the truth, I have never heard of a project relating to the Sanremo Festival “.

Antonella Clerici: “To artists who face moments of emotional difficulty, as an older sister I can only say that in a career there are always high moments and low moments; The important thing is to be in balance with yourself, even a pause can serve to relaunch itself “.

Carlo Conti: “It is not expected that there is a re -execution of ‘La boredom’ by Angelina Mango, in her absence. And the challenges of the young people on Wednesday will be broadcast at the beginning of the evening, that of Tuesday, and on the end of the evening that of Thursday “.

Carlo Conti (About the controversies on Emis Killa, Fedez, Tony Effe …): “As a father and Catholic, one of the parables I prefer is that of the prodigal son. In any case, children must be educated by families, not by school or television “.

Claudio Fasulo: “The (eventual) participation form at the Eurovision Song Contest must be signed for approval by all participants by 12 on Saturday. If the winner decides not to go, we will proceed in decreasing order of the ranking “.

Carlo Conti: “I agreed to lead the festival to the seventh subsequent request, to the other six I have always replied ‘no, thanks’. And I also did it to show my son that his dad counts something. Amadeus’ audience numbers are unbeatable, I don’t run on those. “

Carlo Conti: “Angelina Mango could be a surprise of the last hour, if he feels it.”

Antonella Clerici: “A female conduction at the Festival? I did it, and it was difficult. I hope it is still going on. There are already women able to do it, we hope it happens in the future “.

Carlo Conti: “It would be nice that there was a woman as artistic director, who is the most important job. With Amadeus we felt, he sent me a message yesterday too ”.
