In the second evening of Sanremo Festival the moment of the international super guest arrives: John Travolta. “My career is reaching an unexpected peak” says Giorgia before introducing him and conversing with the American actor in perfect English. “Italy loves you” the Roman singer tells him.

John Travolta enter the Ariston introduced by the music of Nino Rota for the soundtrack of The street by Federico Fellini. Giorgia asks him how he got to know the film: “When I was 4 years old I saw Fellini’s La Strada for the first time with my mum and dad. I fell in love with Giulietta Masina and I didn’t understand why she died. My father told me that she was broken heart. From that moment I decided that I would not break a woman’s heart.” Giorgia then introduces Amadeus calling it an Italian monument and invites him not to make jokes about his nose.

“You’re in splendid shape despite the fifth Sanremo. Even in America they know it” says John Travolta to Amadeus “I know there are primaries to choose his replacement”. Amadeus then fulfills his dream of dancing with John Travolta, first up Saturday Night Feverthen they move on to Grease. “I’ve seen it 10 times” says Amadeus, who asks his wife to take photos “When it happens again, I’ll post them on my social media” and some people hear a buzz from the public, there are those who refer to last year’s controversy year for suing Instagram which led to a fine. “I said social … my social networks are teletext” he says, bending double and referring to a joke on the same topic made by Fiorello in recent days. Before dancing pulp Fiction Amadeus takes off his shoes.

The two then catch up Fiorello who is waiting for them outside the Ariston but leaving the theater is not easy with all hands trying to stop the actor. “There’s the Italian John Travolta!” says Amadeus talking about Fiorello. Then to the actor “This is the devil, he is a communist!” referring to the Hello beautiful sung at the first press conference.
