Regarding the management of the Festival, however, Pausini had already clarified his point of view in the past, recalling that Rai had searched together with Paola Cortellesi. “So far I haven’t accepted because I don’t feel able to handle it,” he explained. “And if one day it were to happen I wouldn’t be the artistic director because I’m plagiarized, I have my favorites and I’m not able to cast properly, I would only put my friends“.
In recent days, however, a few months after the clash with Gianluca Grignani, the singer has decided to take a stand again. In response to a fan on Why so many lies about me? What a strange nation Italy is.”
