The first comment from the new artistic director and host of the Festival
A few hours after the official announcement on Tg1 at 8am, the new artistic director and host of the Sanremo 2025 Festival, Carlo Conti, returned to Tg1 at 8pm for the first immediate comments and announces a little news: “If Will I change something in the rules? Maybe yes something yes, we’ll see. I’m thinking about it and thinking about it. So there will be some news. But Sanremo is always Sanremo! Now let’s start getting to work with serenity and tranquility and lightness. Do you have anything in advance? I do not even know”.
Carlo Conti will return to host the Sanremo Festival in 2025, ten years after the first time: “The accounts add up. Today I received more messages than when my son was born, it’s nice. Have I changed since my first hosting of Sanremo? I have definitely aged. On the 1.30pm news there was a report where they showed images from back then and my wife told me ‘how young you were’. The only thing that remains is the color of your skin, the desire to make music, to celebrate music, to keep the name of Sanremo high, as you tried to do in those three years as in the following two years as he did Baglioni great and Amadeus great in his five years. So try to continue this great event like this, this great event which is a celebration of Italian music”.
Then he revealed where he will listen to the songs that will be sent to him: “My comfort zone where I can listen to the songs to select for the competition? Yes, it is and here where I waited for this little corner of my house where my mixer is and still my old disco plates. I have reserved this corner where I will have the opportunity to listen to all the songs that will arrive, especially the new ones and then the Big Ones. But let’s go step by step because first there is now the regulation and then gradually everything else.”
