"What do I do? It is hard to do Sanremo ... They tell you all the colors ... I don't have the right character, yet I did it. Amadeus convinced me and he will convince me this time too ... It could be the last thing. I do Sanremo, as it goes, and I close my career ": with my head in my hands, after closing a long live on Instagram with Amadeus (VIDEO) , Fiorello lets himself go to this reflection and adds:" I don't have to go on up to 80 years. I did too much. Make room for young people. Just close. " Forced enclosure reflections for the coronavirus emergency, thoughts around the upcoming 60 years (the birthday will be May 16) or one of its boutades? Fiorello likes to surprise and continually change the cards on the table.
Already in 2017, in an exclusive interview with ANSA , he announced the closure of Edicola Fiore on Sky and the return to Rai talking about the idea of making "one last show", a variety of late evening entitled 'L'Ora del Rosario '. Then the project jumped and a new experimental idea was born, "Viva RaiPlay", before the Sanremo of records alongside Amadeus. Now the Ariston stage could see the two friends still together for the 2021 Festival ( SANREMO 2020 FROM A TO Z ). To hear them on Instagram it seems already done. Fiore asks Ariston for a promotion: "You are the Prime Minister, I am the Di Maio of the festival". And then: "It would be great to have Vasco Rossi the first evening who raids the stage with 'reckless life'" but also "to recall Bugo and Morgan", says Fiorello, before launching, after the reunion of the Rich and Poor, the proposal to "reunite Benji & Fede, the 883 and the Lunapop".
Even Vincenzo Mollica will not be missing with his "little balcony" , the two friends say, ready to nominate the journalist of Tg1, dean of the Festival, recently retired, on their return to Ariston ( La standing ovation in Sanremo 2020 ).
Amadeus says he attended a meeting yesterday to present the inauguration of the Genoa Bridge in July. The metaphor of the bridge is the 'la' to start talking about the Festival, "an ideal connection - says Ama - between the last happy moment of aggregation and the next". After months without concerts, Fiorello observes, "everyone will want to come to Sanremo". The first thought is for his friend Jovanotti, but Ama is cautious: "I think singers need a project. Hopefully there is".
Between the serious and the facetious, the direct goes on for about 40 minutes and Fiorello snatches the final promise to Amadeus. "If you were to come to Sanremo, would you do everything I ask of you, even lower your pants?" Asks Fiore. "Yes, I swear, I do it, anything," replies laughing Ama. The showman doesn't let him say it twice. Done deal. "Then - he concludes amused - prepare presentable underpants with the writing Ariston".
