/0 Comments/in , /by

According to the Italian newspaper “La Stampa“, Blanco will not attend Italy’s first rehearsal for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022!

It is reported that the singer Blanco, who is going to represent Italy with Mahmood and the song Brividi, will not take part in the first rehearsal of Italy and the press conference that will follow, due to his Blu Celeste Tour which is due to have a show on May 5 at the TuscanyHall in Florence.

It is unknown at this time if Blanco will be replaced by a “stand-in” singer who will sing with Mahmood in the first rehearsal, as was the case when Flo Rida couldn’t attend the first rehearsal of San Marino in Eurovision 2021.

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s been officially announced today, by the artistic director and presenter of Sanremo Amadeus, that next year’s Sanremo festival will be held from 7 to 11 February 2023.

The announcement of the festival dates came along with the announcement of the regulations of Sanremo Giovani, the Sanremo subcategory for up-and-coming artists.

As was the case last year, the top three artists in the Sanremo Giovani ranking will win a place among the Big artists of the Sanremo festival in February. Sanremo Giovani will therefore be held separately, a few months earlier, on 12 December 2022.

We remind you that Amadeus has been selected for the third consecutive year in the positions of artistic director and presenter of Sanremo, already securing his place not only for next year, but also for the festival of 2024.

Eurovision 2022: Artists will enter the stage like in Sanremo Festival!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Eurovision 2022 will have a great difference compared to what we are used to. The hosts of the contest (Laura Pausini, Mika and Alessandro Cattelan) will call each artist by their name to enter the stage, just like they do in Festival di Sanremo!

Before the postcard of each country, the hosts will call the name of the artist to enter the stage. This is a tradition that is used in the Sanremo Festival. We will also watch a few seconds of the artists entering the stage.
After that, with the help of a drone named Leo, and the addition of special 3D effects we will travel to different beautiful locations of Italy, which RAI chose for the filming of the postcards. Going even further, the artists will see a video that they haven’t watched before and react to it.

Eurovision 2022: More details about the Green Room released!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More information was announced by the stage designer of this year’s contest Francesca Montinaro, presenting the Green Room for the Eurovision 2022 Song Contest.

Stage designer Francesca explained that her inspiration for designing the Green Room for this year’s Eurovision is a verdant garden. Home plants and Italian gardens, along with creating a connection with nature, are the main source of inspiration for the design.

The concept behind this year’s scene is “The Sun Within” which is based on the movements and light of a moving sun. The stage is able to show theatrical movement, which is framed by water and has a lush Italian garden surrounding the rays in front of it. This lush garden of the Green Room will be in front of the stage. This can be clearly seen in a 3D animation that was released a few days ago.

The mind behind the design of this year’s stage is Francesca Montinaro, who has also created the stages of the Sanremo Music Festival twice (2013 and 2019). Montinaro explained the inspiration behind the design of the green room:

We’re part of nature and nature is a part of us.
We never forget it when we design.

The Green Room will be located right in front of the stage, as happened in last year’s competition, and is inspired by the Baroque garden feel, such as those at Villa d’Este, Castel Gandolfo, Villa Lante or other estates throughout Italy. The water around the stage that will be located between the Green Room and the main stage will remind people of fountains in a park.

/1 Comment/in , /by

Italian public broadcaster RAI has just announced that Amadeus, artistic director and presenter of Sanremo from 2020 onwards, will return to these two positions not only in Sanremo 2023 but also 2024!

Amadeus will be the Artistic Director and presenter of the 2023 and 2024 editions of the San Remo Italian Song Festival. This was agreed this morning during a meeting at which Rai CEO Carlo Fuortes, along with Prime Time CEO Stefano Coletta, welcomed Amadeus into a long and cordial conversation. “I am pleased and honored by the proposal of CEO Carlo Fuortes and Prime Time CEO Stefano Coletta. Having received this offer now allows me to work immediately. I look forward to starting,” said Amadeus.

RAI

We expect and hope for success from Italy in the next two years, as it was Amadeus who, as the artistic director, chose Måneskin to compete in Sanremo 2021, leading them to victory in Eurovision 2021, but also Mahmood & Blanco this year, who are already considered one of the biggest favorites to win Eurovision on home soil in Turin!
