(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 04 - "Regarding the involuntary diffusion of the piece by Gianni Morandi, competing in Sanremo, the Artistic Direction in agreement with Rai1 does not believe it should exclude the aforementioned song because it was a pure technical inconvenience, due to the need di Morandi to carry a brace on his right hand which has undergone several operations following the accident that occurred a few months ago ".
Rai announces it in a press release.
"The impediment to the movement of the hand caused the error for which Morandi put the back stage he was seeing privately" he concludes.
The song and Morandi therefore remain in the race.
