P.for many, Beppe Vessicchio, 65, is the symbol of the Festival. His elegance of yesteryear and its smile, friendly under i reassuring mustache, on several occasions they have managed to give the push needed to the various artists competing to put the panic aside and start singing their piece.
The Maestro Vessicchio (Lapresse)
But he is not there, and this news is worrying his fans a lot. He had Covid, and this has been abundantly explained, but he is also cured of Covid, as he himself announced.
Yet, in the third evening, where he was supposed to conduct the orchestra for The VibrationsAmadeus introduced the teacher Simone Bertolotti (the same one who was also on the podium two years ago for the famous duet of Morgan and Bugo Sincereof which he was also co-author).
“Vessicchio? He has yet to recover from Covid “
And the Vessicchio-gate: where did the most beloved conductor of all time go? It seems that “has yet to recover– so it has been said – and hopefully in his presence tonight. A journalist – an insider in Sanremo these days – wrote that «Beppe Vessicchio had to to give up again for the first release of Le Vibrazioni this evening. Despite returning negative to Covid, He does not feel good. Could re-enter not until Fridayfor the cover night ».

The same group The Vibrations, heard by Republic, confirmed this version. “The teacher was negativized but from Covid unfortunately he had a big blow. We hope there will be covers for the Friday evening, for the song Live and Let die (piece by Paul McCartney, ed) did a masterful work“.
Some have speculated, however, that Beppe Vessicchio has recovered, but there are some hitch with the green pass, necessary to be able to enter the Ariston. And this would also be a plausible hypothesis.
Certain that Beppe Vessicchio does not reason according to “Morettian” maxims – “Do I notice more if I come and stay on the sidelines or if I don’t come at all?“ – it is only to be hoped that recover at least for tonight. Without him, Live and Let die it wouldn’t be the same.
