(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 30 - "This year, for the Festival, they have thought of building a special 'sky', returning to the pleasure of a 'built' scenographic architecture, accepting all its challenges".
And so - in the words of the set designers Gaetano and MariaChiara Castelli, he at the twenty-first Festival, she at the ninth - was born the great dome under which the music of Sanremo 2023 will resound. "It is - they explain - a suspended elliptical dome, but closely connected with the rest of the scenography, twenty-one meters wide and up to eleven meters high. It will have 'secret mirrors' and a mobile top, with perfectly integrated lights, which will be able to descend above the artists on stage. And, again to respect the philosophy of a scenographic and three-dimensional architecture, we have also given up on traditional led walls,
while the staircase and the lateral spaces of the orchestra will remain to underline the centrality of the artists, and the curtain will also return.
All 'wrapped' in white and entrusted to the eye of the director Stefano Vicario and the lights of the director of photography Mario Catapano who will also have six km of dynamic LEDs at his disposal.
A project that took shape, just after the 2022 Festival, following the indications of Amadeus who asked us to find new ways for scenography.
And we also like to dedicate this work to Franco A. Ferrari, a great director of photography of the Festival and beyond, who passed away recently". In addition to the stage, the rest of the scenographic layout will also be dominated by curved lines which - they will also "dress" the audience at the Ariston: "
The work began immediately after the summer, while the assembly in Sanremo got underway in December: "It was nice - they conclude - to see the birth and growth of what we like to call our 'architecture' of Sanremo, for which our thanks went to our collaborator Manuele Bellucci and to all the scenography and lighting professionals who have transformed our project into reality."
