Carlo Conti, how did he go? “It seems to me a fairly positive balance,” jokes, commenting on the boom of listening to these evenings. “Everything went very well, indeed beyond the most rosy expectations,” he confesses. No excess, the format worked: «I believe that the festival basically is a song of songs, a collective rite that allows us to follow all together. Over the years the excesses have been there, in one way or another, outside or on the stage of the Ariston, but it is precisely this, because as Pippo Baudo “Sanremo is Sanremo” says and only this allows us to comment, speak, spread of the Festival and brings us together together to look at the same event. When you can bring together all generations, it is clear that you do large numbers ».
