Amadeus he has a dream in his drawer. A dream shared, according to him, by Fiorello and by millions of Italians. To report Adriano Celentano in Sanremo. The doors are always open for him, says the artistic director. He hasn’t seen the Ariston stage since 2012, when there was much controversy over his participation (and the fee).

Connecting from the city of flowers with Bruno Vespafor the episode of Door to door, Amadeus says he has a secret dream. The Festival will begin next week, Tuesday 6 February. And he hopes to see Adriano Celentano on stage.
“It’s a dream, a desire, but dreaming costs nothing. It is a dream of mine, of Fiorello and of millions of Italians. I don’t feel like deceiving myself, unfortunately I don’t think so… but the doors are always open. If he ever decides to come, we’ll go out and pick him up at the toll booth on the highway.” Bruno Vespa says he invited the Spring loaded to go to Five minutes. And his response froze him: “I invited him to come to Five Minutes. Silence, then he replies: but in five minutes I can only take a break…“. He told him that even the break would be fine for him, while Amadeus hypothesizes the explosion in ratings: “In five minutes he could set the audience record”.
Celentano’s last time at the Sanremo festival
—
In the race, Adriano Celentano participated in the Sanremo Festival five times. The first in 1961 with the song 24 thousand kissesobtaining a dispensation from the Minister of Defense Giulio Andreotti, because he was doing military service. In 1970 she won with Who does not work does not make lovetogether with wife Claudia Mori. The last time as a competitor was in 1971.
As a guest, however, Adriano Celentano was at the Festival twice, the first in 2004 and the second in 2012. Precisely on the occasion of his last appearance at the Ariston, the singer was the subject of fierce controversies. Not only for his long monologues and alleged requests for censorship, but also for his compensation which, later, Molleggiato said he wanted to give to charity.
Fiorello’s cryptic words
—
Just a week ago, in a gag on Viva Rai2, Fiorello opened up the possibility that Celentano could be at Sanremo Festival 2024. Her phone rings and Molleggiato’s name appears on the screen. Fiorello answers, but there is interference from “intruders”, the tarnished, which doesn’t allow us to hear what the singer says. When the showman reappears he only says: The thing you said, Adriano, fills us with joy. Hi Adriano, see you where you know! This is incredible news. Thanks Claudia. Do you realize what happened? I can already see the news agencies… It’s been a long time since he appeared on video, it must have been 5 years.”
Who knows if it will actually be at the Ariston: it would be a way to have yet another audience record! He, by the way, has not confirmed or denied, so is the door open?
