Stefano De Martino: «Il mio sogno? Portare Vasco a Sanremo 2027»

"I'm building the Festival; I haven't wasted a minute," he says. "My dream? To bring Vasco Rossi to Sanremo." The idea for his Ariston is taking shape: "This year, there will be fewer competing songs and more international scope, even in the staging. Tuesday and Wednesday, the singers will perform their songs, Thursday will be the cover night, and Friday will be the new "performance" night, which will determine who will represent us at Eurovision: the artists will be able to stage their performances with complete aesthetic freedom, with the full support of the Rai team. I also believe this will boost the internationality of the Festival." Do you fear Amadeus being left alone? "He's the host of five glorious editions of Sanremo; I'm in a foreign land. Rai isn't a closed company; if the talent pool expands, I'm happy." by Ilaria Ravarino
