Because the stage of Sanremo is cursed
I was the author of the Sanremo Festival in 1998. A Sanremo
everything is exaggerated: it is abnormal to the attention of newspapers and television (in relation to the type of event), is disproportionate public attention, is excessive damage to the importance for all those four days.
In those days of 98 I was almost always closed Ariston where you wrote, it worked and it was thought the steps and the beat to say in various events. But those few times we went out to make two steps to clear his mind was being affected in a physical manner by these excesses. Everywhere in the city of television crews large and small crowds of people waiting for the VIP and nip, people camped out in front of Hotels who are happy to see anyone go any relationship with the event ("look, is the cousin of the grandson of Albania!").
It was a bit 'to laugh at me every now and then I could watch these events with a minimum of decent posting. Yet the climate of Sanremo
infects everything and everyone. E 'for all those who participate in the event of life. I could not figure out if this depends on the climate that you can breathe, or if it is actually Sanremo may result in better or worse, a career. The fact is that the stage of Sanremo is cursed. About the crowd feels the weight, it suffers from the enormity, is tormented by the responsibility of being able to stand on it. That year the Festival led
Raimondo Vianello and I, who have worked with him for more than two decades, for the first time, the first night of the Festival, I saw Raymond excited. It had never happened before with any other transmission. But there, on the first night game appema the symbol and Raymond appeared on stage, because I was in the side, behind the scenes, I spoke with olui foin a moment before, I followed him as he entered the scene, Well, I saw it with saliva to zero and the words that became entangled. At that moment I realized how difficult it out alive from the Sanremo Festival.
And these days a little 'me laugh when I hear criticism for the gaffe, uncertainties and other Morandi. Impossible not to have!
Pass that test is really difficult. And it is also difficult to write scripts for Sanremo: finding that balance between the songs in the race and the show that you do not get bored of each other. This year we are quite successful, I think.
