Also Carlo Conti just like Amadeus, chooses Tg1 for his announcements as artistic director of Sanremo Festival 2025. During the 8pm edition of Wednesday 22 May he appeared radiant: «The Conti are back – joked the host Conti in connection – I received more messages today than when my son was born. Today I realized that I have aged, the only thing that remains the same is the color of my skin, the desire to party and make music. I will try to resume that work done and carried forward to great effect by the two editions of Baglioni and to a great extent by the five editions of Amadeus.”
«In this little corner of my house where you see me now – he explained – I will listen to the songs that come from the new proposals and then from the Big ones but let’s go step by step, first the regulation and then little by little the rest. I will change some of the rules, but Sanremo will always remain Sanremo. Now we get to work with calm, serenity and lightness.”
What Carlo Conti said in the link this morning
In this morning’s connection again with TG1 Clarlo Conti said: «Music as always at the centre, the current one, which is popular, we hope to do a good job and to continue the wonderful tradition of this event which brings everyone together, the whole family in front of the TV. I have to understand if I still have the ear to choose the songs”, Conti had held back in recent weeks, when his name ended up at the top of the list for the toto-Sanremo.
And now – after having launched artists such as Francesco Gabbani, Ermal Meta, Giovanni Caccamo, Irama among the New proposals – he takes up the challenge of getting back into the game: «I accepted thanks to the great affection of our company, from the CEO to the general manager to the entertainment director, up to the cleaning lady, the cameramen, the technicians, I felt this support for me that made me say: let’s go back”, he underlines.
Furthermore, the return to Ariston “is also a nice way to celebrate my first 40 years with Rai: the first contract dates back to June 1985″. The construction work of the 2025 festival begins now. «There are very specific steps: now – recalls the host of Best Years – there is the most important thing, the regulations, then we will start listening to the songs of the new proposals, then those of the big names and lastly I will try to understand the team with me on stage for the presentation and all the guests and what comes with it.”
The guests
As for the possibility that next to him on stage there will be his usual friends, Leonardo Pieraccioni and Giorgio Panariello, he specifies: «I don’t think so, at least not in a permanent presence, I think I’ll go ahead with the idea of alternating something different every evening different, and then we do too many things together, I can hardly stand those two anymore”, he says laughing. Meanwhile the tom tom has started, “my phone is constantly ringing”, smiles Conti, revealing that the first message this morning was from Fiorello, who had tried to tease him about the festival theme on Viva Rai2! “If we had been on the air, he wrote, we would have had a lot of fun.” Good luck also arrives from Amadeus, followed by a phone call of friendship and esteem between the two. Social media goes crazy: Sanremo is firmly at the top of the trends, among memes, archive images, comments for and against and the first hypotheses on co-hosting, from Annalisa to Alessandro Cattelan, which according to some rumors could also lead to a revived Dopofestival .
«Carlo Conti is a professional who also paved the way for the great results of Amadeus and we are happy with his return to leading the event», applauds Enzo Mazza, CEO of Fimi, citing the «particularly happy moment» for the music industry Italian»: «The artistic director will have before him a wide choice of multi-platinum talents who dominate the charts to bring to the competition», he underlines. But he also warns that «with RAI all that remains to be resolved is the priority issue of the costs of the festival for companies which is today absolutely unsustainable».
The Codacons
Codacons instead asks Conti to “break with the past” and to “establish a specific technical commission for the choice of songs, which takes into account the real value of the songs and the artists who perform them, and not the number of followers on social media or the views on the web guaranteed by the singers, nor their temporary notoriety linked to participation in singing talent shows”.
