Pieracconi and Panariello regular guests? «I don’t think so»
by Rolling Stone
«Now there is the most important thing, the regulation. Then we will listen to the songs of the new proposals and those of the big names. Lastly there is the team on stage for the presentation, the guests and what comes from it.”
In his first statements on the festival, Carlo Conti talked about the preparations for Sanremo of which he will be host and artistic director in 2025 and 2026. It is a return: he has in fact hosted three editions, from 2015 to 2017, winners Il Volo, Stadio , Francesco Gabbani.
In what direction will it go? «I will try to resume the work carried out in a big way by the two editions made by Claudio Baglioni and by the five, very large, of Amadeus». Conti accepted after hearing the cheering for him, “from the CEO to the cleaning lady”. He received many compliments, even from Amadeus. “I have received almost more messages today than when my son was born.”
One of the fundamental steps for the artistic director is the development of the regulations that dictate the times and methods not only of the competition, but also of the show, not to mention which and how many juries will decide the winning song. Conti says that “maybe yes, I’ll change something, we’ll see, I’m thinking about it, there will be some news”.
When the news spread, many joked about the fact that at Sanremo 2025 we will also see Pieraccioni and Panariello for five evenings. Will he call them? «I don’t think so, at least not in a permanent presence, I think I’ll alternate something different every evening».
