It's official: Gianni Morandi will flank Amadeus in conducting the 2023 Festival of Sanremo. This was announced by the same patron of the singing festival (for the fourth year in a row) last year 11 July during the evening edition of TG1. "I accept with enthusiasm”Was the prompt reply of Morandi (in a tuxedo for the occasion) in a video message transmitted immediately after the announcement of Amadeus. L'eternal boy, who have conquered the last third place of the Festival podium with its "Open all doors"Positioning himself behind Mahmood and Blanco ed Elisa, will be the co-host for the five evenings of the Sanremo 2023 Festival. This is a very apt choice, which could give a jolt of energy to the new edition. Gianni Morandi "will take the place" Fiorello Rosary, great protagonist of the first two Festivals conducted by Amadeus.
Co-hosts of the Sanremo 2023 Festival: Morandi and more
That of Gianni Morandi at the co-host was not the only surprise announced for the Sanremo 2023 Festival. A few weeks ago Amadeus, also during TG1, announced the presence of Chiara Ferragni as co-host of the Festival. Unlike the Emilian singer, the beloved influencer and entrepreneur will join Amadeus (and Morandi himself) during the first and last evening of Sanremo. Ferragni also responded with a firm "yes" to Amadeus' call, posting a photo of them together on Instagram with the phrase: «Thanks to Amadeus for having wanted me by his side to open and close Sanremo 2023". To date, the presenter has not revealed the names of the co-hosts of the remaining evenings but it is reasonable to expect new great surprises, as happened for example last year with the brilliant Drusilla Foer, true protagonist of the third evening of 2022 Festival of Sanremo.
Britney Spears in Sanremo "One More Time"?
Speaking of surprises, although there are still several months to go 73th edition of the Sanremo Festival, which will take place from 7 to 11 February 2023, in the last few days the “toto-names” seems to have started as regards the super-guests who will take the stage of the Ariston. To date, the most popular names seem to be those of Lady Gaga e Britney Spears. The two artists, among the most famous names in international music of the last 30 years, are much loved by the Italian public. For Lady Gaga it would be her first time at the Sanremo Festival. In Italy she was only a guest at "Those that football"(2009) and"What's the weather like"(2021) to present the film"House of gucci”, Which saw her protagonist in the role of Patrizia reggiani.
Britney Spears it might return one instead second time on the Ariston stage, after 20 years. In 2002, in fact, Pippo Baudo wanted her as a "super guest" and the artist and performed with his "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman". To date it seems unlikely that both international stars will be present at the Sanremo 2023 Festival, also for reasons of budget. According to the latest rumors, Amadeus would be already in negotiation to host Britney Spears, but anything is still possible. After Gianni Morandi and Chiara Ferragni, Amadeus' next announcement will concern the singer of "Toxic"and "Baby One More Time"? We will know in the coming weeks.
