In the role of Blanca, the intuitive and tenacious blind profiler protagonist of the successful and innovative Rai1 fiction, she depopulated in the last TV season and now the Ariston stage awaits her: Maria Chiara Giannetta will be among the five protagonists of Sanremo 2022 alongside Amadeus. The anticipation of Repubblica is confirmed by the festival: the artistic director and conductor thus focuses on a character who has entered the heart of the general public thanks to the role of captain Anna Olivieri in Don Matteo, the record series - another Lux production He saw, like Blanca - who is preparing to return with the thirteenth season and with the new entry Raoul Bova. And who knows if the actor doesn't make a visit to the festival.
But in the meantime it is full name on the other co-hosts. Among the rumors circulating with greater insistence in the last few hours is Serena Rossi: the self-confident, sweet and stubborn Mina Settembre, from Sunday 16 January on Rai1 also in the new series La sposa, already godmother of the last Venice Film Festival, could return to the Ariston - where in 2019 she paid an exciting tribute to Mia Martini and last year she launched her show The Secret Song, moving Amadeus to the notes of You and I by Jovanotti - this time as hostess, at least for one evening.
The Miriam Leone hypothesis, on the other hand, would be less consistent, even if it is likely that the cast will draw on the most beloved faces of our house: the unknowns related to the pandemic are destined to condition artistic choices again this year.
Having scored the coup Checco Zalone, which will bring his irreverent comedy to the festival, Amadeus and his team are also working on the guests. On the musical front, once the Vasco Rossi hypothesis has faded, the arrival of Cesare Cremonini is confirmed, expected from February 25 with the new album The girl of the future.
Meanwhile, the festival car is proceeding at full speed, albeit with the utmost attention to the Covid emergency and the surge in infections.
From next Monday the tests, already underway in Rome, will move to Sanremo, in an Ariston closed in a sort of bubble thanks to the measures of the health protocol already applied last year that Rai is ready to update based on the new indications of the government: super green pass and frequent tampons for all professionals;
mandatory Ffp2 mask except on video during live broadcast;
diversified accesses and routes for cast, artists, orchestras and crowding roofs for each area, even during rehearsals.
Ticket sales are still on standby: it cannot be ruled out that a reduction in the capacity of cinemas and theaters is possible.
