(toskanews) — The kiss with Gaia on stage? «To me A kiss on the mouth between two girls or two boys has no effectclearly. We are very used to it. At home we are homosexual, we are straight. I don’t make these distinctions here. It’s a kiss of affection if I really have to justify it. If, however, we consider ourselves intelligent people, I don’t have to say anything about the kiss.” «And there was no censorship».
As Levantat a press conference in Sanremo, replying on sapphic kiss at the end of the performance with Gaia on the evening of the duets for which a “censorship” was hypothesized, as it was not seen on TV because the cameras widened the frame.
«But it really wasn’t planned – he said – so clearly the director didn’t have me in the picture. I didn’t do it at the tests. Yesterday morning when we rehearsed with Gaia, we did the sound check, the sound test, therefore not the direction test. A little kiss came. Then I told her, sorry, I gave it to you without your consent. And then I said to myself: no, you can do whatever you want. And from there I said: well, maybe I’ll give her a kiss at the end… But no one knew… I want to say this not because I have to justify, I will never be silent.”
«These rooms are automated, they move according to how the test was done – he further explained – I don’t have to justify it…. I was actually disappointed that it wasn’t picked up again. But then everyone published it. Another important aspect is not so much the censorship which did not exist, but the fact that this creates debate, and it shouldn’t. I didn’t do it because I wanted to provoke, I did it like I do with my sister, my mother, my cousin, my friends. I gave it like this».
