One thing is certain. The former Rai number 1 will not abandon music after having revolutionized the Sanremo Festival for five years. The record companies will remain at his side in the wake of the rain of gold and platinum records arriving from the Festival
“Now it’s time for new professional and personal challenges, it’s time for new dreams. Thanks everyone, see you on TV,” he said Amadeus, greeting Rai in an elegant and measured video message, shared on his social networks. And we are talking about dreams in these hours, especially on the channel where the former Rai number 1 should land. All that’s missing is the official status, but Warner Bros Discovery is rubbing its hands in these hours for the coup scored afterwards Fabio Fazio. There are many expectations regarding the formats that Amadeus will implement on Canale Nove and they will certainly not be misplaced. There is talk of the passage of the “Soliti Ignoti”which Amadeus has hosted since 2017. But not only that. The idea of a new music show would also be in the thoughts of American managers and Amadeus or to dig up an old one and dust it off to give it a new light. A bit like Antonella Clerici did, managing to exhume “The Voice Of Italy” from the underworld with great response and success between the Senior and Kids versions. Think about “X Factor” in two years at Nove, after the last year, for now, announced on Sky? Maybe.
But there is another title that someone outside and inside the corridors of Warner Bros Discovery is whispering. A dream, a utopia, but it would be a great return. Will Amadeus be able to resurrect the good, old and never forgotten”Festivalbar”? Born in 1964 from an idea by Vittorio Salvetti, the great musical event has warmed up Italian squares for 43 years. From 1967 to 1982 and from 1983 the “Festivalbar” was broadcast first on Canale 5, and then on Italia 1 from 1989. The event became a cult between the 90s and 2000s together with the recording exploits of the Blu and Rossa compilations. Amadeus was a historic face of the summer event: in 1993 he hosted it with Claudio Cecchetto, Fiorello and Federica Panicuccihe returned in 1994 and 1995 with Federica Panicucci and Laura Freddi. In the summer of 1996 Amadeus was at the side of Alessia Marcuzzi and Corona and then presented it for the last time in 1997.
In short, the link between the “Festivalbar” and Amadeus is very close and full of memories. Unfortunately it will be impossible for the format to be associated with the host again. The rights are in the hands of Andrea Salvetti, son of the patron Vittorio. In all these years important radio networks and several television publishers they tried to convince Andrea Salvetti to reopen the chest – hermetically sealed – where the format is stored. Nothing to do. And this is why other television programs also flocked to the songs of the summer, however different in spirit and mechanism compared to the Festivalbar, such as the Coca-Cola Summer Festival on Canale 5then the irruption of Battiti Live on Italia 1 (from this year it will be promoted on Canale 5 with the new entry Ilary Blasi) and the recent one Tim Summer Hits which aired on Rai 2 until last season, but which will soon move to Rai 1.
One thing is certain. Amadeus will not abandon music after revolutionizing the Sanremo Festival for five years. The record companies will remain at his side – after the wave of gold and platinum records won after the event – and you can bet that there is already a powerful musical idea in the host’s head, still super top secret . In short, whoever lives will see on the Nine.
