“Sanremo? My adventure at the festival is over. Dead and buried forever”: Fiorello’s only half-serious moment in the maelstrom of jokes and skits that appeal to everyone from Eros Ramazzotti to Fiorella Mannoia, who also animates backstage of “Gigi One”. like you is the Rai1 show that celebrates the thirty-year career of Gigi D’Alessio, live from Naples from Piazza del Plebiscito.
“Amadeus is my favorite comedian,” says Fiorello, breaking into his friend’s dressing room while changing his shoes before taking the stage.
It is the moment of reunion of the Amarello, the couple that animated Sanremo several times in three consecutive years and also went through the most difficult historical moment with the pandemic and the abandoned Ariston. As Amadeus prepares to put Pippo Baudo and Mike Bongiorno on par with two other festivals and reach five consecutive editions, with a contract already signed, Fiorello is always impregnable and unpredictable.
“The artistic director of Sanremo got a convertible wardrobe, the smallest of all! Ama is modest. We don’t use air conditioning, there isn’t one, he has to die here,” jokes the showman, while his friend and accomplice laughs. “My dressing room flooded,” says the host, referring to the afternoon rain that hampered rehearsals for the show. “Shall we close the door?” asks Niccolò Presta, trying to protect the privacy of Amadeus, the artist of the stable he runs with his father Lucio. “But no!” Fiorello replies and, to the laughter of those present, starting with his wife Susanna, opens the door again. “Let’s do a little show because there is sadness. People need them,” concludes Fiorello.
