Happy Birthday to Pippo Baudo, who turns 88 on June 7th. A column of Rai and our television, the presenter who has ranged across all genres, cultured and passionate. With Mike Bongiorno, Enzo Tortora And Corrado, musketeer of the small screen. Guest at The TV is 70the program hosted by Massimo Giletti on Rai 1 on the occasion of the 70 years of Italian TV, at the end of February, Baudo he had scolded Amadeus, he didn’t want to believe that 2024 was really his last Sanremo Festival. “I can’t believe you feel tired, that you want to quit. You will think again, you will return to Sanremo very soon. In fact, you’ll be back next year,” he told the host.
Pippo Baudo and the dig at Amadeus: “I’ve done 13 Sanremos, he still has a long way to go”
Amadeus he will not return to Sanremo, next season he will start again from the Nine. But when he agreed to host the first festival, he ran to Baudo to ask for advice. Because ‘Pippone’, as he affectionately calls him Simona Ventura, even if it is far from TV, continues to be a point of reference for those who make television. With his incredible experience he is ready to give advice. Amadeus always tells it: “Pippo explained to me that the most important thing is the songs, they must be listened to and listened to again. He was right.”
On the other hand, Baudo loves music, classical and pop, he was close to Laura Pausini it’s at Georgie when they showed up in Sanremo; he was a conductor but he is passionate about opera, he dreamed of being an orchestra director: “A dream that I was never able to realise: I envied the skill of Pippo Caruso, with whom I formed a strong friendship. Conducting so many musicians is truly an indescribable emotion: I only know how to play the piano”. From the thirteen editions of the Sanremo festival, from Sunday in to Twentieth centuryfrom Evening of honor to One in a hundredfrom Number one to Poppies and ducksfrom Funfair to Everybody at homeBaudo is a giant of the small screen.

On May 29th someone had spread the rumor that he was ill, he himself denied it: “I’m fine”. He undergoes routine checks, but the jackals are always lurking. An unacceptable lack of respect.
