The presenter, died at 89 years oldhe conducted it 13 times, the last in 2008, but it is in 2019 that he rose for the last time on the Ariston stage (edition that saw Claudio Baglioni artistic director, as well as conductor together with Virginia Raffaele and Claudio Bisio). His appearance was very short (and there was no shortage of controversy) but accompanied by a warm standing ovation of the public. The same year Baudo received, but in the press room, the David Zard special prize of Assomusica.
