Carlo Conti will become the new artistic director of the event. Will he be able to surpass Amadeus? His cachet perhaps yes.
Carlo Conti is an Italian television presenter who holds entertainment dear. His programs, of which he is often the author or co-author, are all aimed at a specific target: the generation X and the generation of baby boomers. Nonetheless, the proposed formats are all enjoyable even for the youngest.
In fact, one program in particular can brighten up evenings spent at home with a cold: The best years. This show usually airs on Fridays in prime time, offering viewers a carnet of iconic events, music and curiosities about specific decades.
In this context, several generations are compared, mutually enriching each other with the knowledge of each other. An important idea was to introduce the possibility of receiving Whatsapp “messages” to comment what I just saw on TV. The younger ones thus actively participate in the show.
Although he does not enjoy the same fame as Amadeus, Carlo Conti has so far proven to be an excellent television presenter, with strong and decisive ideas that manage to captivate various targets. Many are therefore not very surprised that he was chosen as successor to Amadeus for Sanremo.
Carlo Conti in Sanremo
Not everyone might remember it, but Carlo Conti has already been a television host of the Sanremo event. This was about ten years ago, way back 2015. At the time, Conti totaled the 48% sharean absolute record for the time, unbeaten since 2006.
So, what can we expect from the next editions of Sanremo? Carlo Conti’s contract is valid for two years, so he will take care of the Festival of the year 2025 and 2026. Many wonder how it is possible to surpass Amadeus’ overall numbers. Above all: how much will earn Carlo Conti from all this?
Carlo Conti’s cachet
Unofficial sources have declared that Carlo Conti is one of the highest paid television hosts on Rai. In 2017, the amount of his fee was made known: almost 2 million euros for working in the network. In fact, he never complained, nor did he take an active part in complaints or protests against the network.
He also stated this in an interview a few years ago, in front of Caterina Balivo: “I earn well and I don’t complain. I can give great gifts to my son, I live well.” For future editions of Sanremoan amount equal to would be allocated to him, as artistic director and host €500,000.
