Qwhen in 2020 Amadeus kicked off his festival experience, he was supported by thealways friend: Fiorello. This year, in his fourth Sanremo, Gianni Morandi will accompany him on stage, but could Ciuri miss the most important appointment? Of course not! And here’s that the Italian star performer par excellence moves from dawn to night with his Long live Rai 2!which for the occasion becomes Long live Rai 2… long live Sanremo!broadcast immediately after the long live broadcast of Rai 1.
Fiorello’s DopoFestival with Long live Rai 2… long live Sanremo!
From his position in Via Asiago in Rome, he made his entrance with the classic staircase. A reproduction of the symbol of the Ariston Theater, which from the first shot gives the measure of sense of the show of the landlord. Black tuxedo and jokes galore: Fiorello introduces himself as he knows and as he is used to.
Already from theme songperformed with the corps de ballet choreographed by Luca Tommassini, it is clear that I will be an even more sparkling show than the first evening of Sanremo 2023. A fully-fledged DopoFestival, although it is a different format. Every note and every shot makes those who managed to get to the end of the marathon jump off their sofas. And Fiorello enters the story with a straight leg.
Ironically on the cold of the Roman night – «we’re out in the open», he says – and on the tuned-in audience. So off to the connection with the conductor and artistic director to collect the first impressions on the spot. We start immediately with the Blanco casewho destroyed flowers on stage while performing her new single, The island of roses.
Competing singers, guests and pure entertainment: the perfect mix
TO Long live Rai 2… Long live Sanremo! does what he does in the morning a Long live Rai 2!, but even more pronounced. Sift through everything that happened on stage, making fun of the key moments. Here is the close shot on the high note of Anna Oxalast classified, the connection with Ultimo from the hotel room and that with gIANMARIAcaught in front of the entrance to the Ariston.
Small fragments of a live broadcast lasting about five hours, useful to crystallize what has just been. Waiting for the second evening, as Fiorello returns tonight as well. to accompany him, associates Fabrizio Biggio and Mauro Casciaribut also the colleague with whom he shared the Festivalbar stage in the past: Alessia Marcuzzi.
For her too, Ariston-style staircase with a powder pink dress. Go by mash-up on the notes of 24,000 kisses, Money, Butterflies And Bye bye. Always accompanied by the dancers. In the end, the beauty of live saw the intervention of a face always present at major Rai events: Valeria Marini in telephone connection.
Of note, the connection from the City of Flowers with Gabriel Vagnatosocial media star, televised by Italia 1 with Love MIbut consecrated by Fiorello. His interviews – surreal and often nonsense – they are set by heart in the liturgy of the programme.

The Fiorello effect on ratings and quality
Months ago, when Stefano Coletta revealed he was in talks with Fiorello to get him back on videomany expected that it could replicate successes which he has always collected throughout his career. After controversy with Tg1moved up Rai 2. A network in an identity and audience crisis, which needed a restyling. And so it was.
Fiore has given new life to the channel, scoring record audiences and lighting one of the most difficult slots: that of the morning. Not only. For Sanremo he temporarily moves to Rai 1 and gives life to the DopoFestival. Certain, in a modern and contemporary waywith no reporters present to comment on the performances, but it is none the less a great show.
I sign, once again, that to make good television and excellent entertainment you need budgets, the desire to experiment, but above all two essential elements. Ideas and the ability to turn them into reality. And in this Ciuri is a master. His Long live Rai 2… long live Sanremo! is a potpourri of elements, which bring the dear old variety. A feat desired by many, but achieved by a very, very few. Perhaps only from the master of Italian entertainment.
