Do you know how much the Sanremo Festival costs every year? The impressive amount that we all pay in taxes.
The Festival of Sanremo every year it is something truly unique, an event that many Italians, millions and millions, anxiously and insistently await every year, a real “sacred week”, so to speak, especially after the five years in which Amadeus has literally overturned all of this creating a real revolution both in terms of music and songs, but also and above all from the point of view of ratings.
After all, the slogan “Sanremo si…Ama!” it was not done by chance, because that is precisely what happened: an extraordinary success to say the least which confirms once again how much its absence within the TV programs of State is really important and will leave an immense void that is unlikely to be difficult to fill. For every positive side, however, there is another truly unexpected one that no one notices anymore but which, in fact, in reality, we all pay for: have you ever wondered how much it costs all of us taxpayers to implement this program?
If, on the one hand, there are those who think that there are really too many, on the other hand there are those who maintain that, for a product of this kind, they would also be willing to pay more, although in any case everything substantially falls within the portion of the fee that we already pay in the electricity bill. Here are all the details and, above all, what is the impressive figure that no one would have ever imagined but which, in fact, is real.
Sanremo Festival, here’s how much it costs us every year
As reported by Il Sole 24 Ore, the Sanremo Festival every year it costs all of us taxpayers around 17-18 million euros. A truly impressive figure that state TV, as is also normal, deducts from our taxes and license fees. Nonetheless, however, one fact must be considered: it is true that this event has a truly impressive cost, but it is equally true that the profit, both in terms of advertising and in terms of enormous global success, is absolutely repaid with interest.
In short, the costs, albeit exorbitant from a production point of view, if we think that it essentially lasts 5 days, they are abundantly covered and, above all, there is a truly impressive profit on the part of the company.
