(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 14 - The Eurovision Song Contest stops for the first time in 64 years. Assemblies are forbidden, closed borders, difficult to move, the most viewed music event in the world must deal with the situation linked to the coronavirus. And so it turns into a TV show that, under the sign of music, wants to unite Europe and pay homage to the 41 artists who should have been in the race.
Saturday, May 16, the day scheduled for the final evening of the event with the announcement of the winner, the Eurovision "Europe Shine a Light" will come to life - Let's turn on the music.
The preview will start on Rai1 at 20.35 and from 21 the show will also be broadcast on Rai Radio2, Rai4 and RaiPlay. To represent Italy is Diodato, with the song that conquered the Sanremo festival: Make noise. Participate by playing in a completely empty Arenadi Verona, on which the Italian flag stands out. An iconic place, known all over the world, which represents music.
"I thought I had reached the emotional peak at the festival, mapoi the song, in this period of pandemic, was sung by the balconies, took on even more strength and meaning, and became a sort of hymn of liberation", says Diodato, fresh winner of the David di Donatello for the song Che vitaMeravigliosa for Ferzan Ozpetek's film "The goddess of luck". Ilcantautore Tarantino would have had all the credentials to be valid in what seems to be his magical year, but the coronavirus has put the clubs in his wheels. "Yet I don't see the negative side, by my nature." (HANDLE).
