"The images you will see from home will be as extraordinary as Calabria, which has incredible potential and a particular beauty. Events such as 'The Year to Come' allow you to get to know these places.
I am sure that from next summer there will be many people here, a region that is beautiful and welcomes in a fantastic way. I am a witness to this because of how I have been received." This was said by Amadeus, presenter of the Rai New Year's Eve 'The Year to Come' in Crotone, during the press conference to present the show that will be broadcast by Raiuno from Piazza Pitagora.
The conductor found hundreds of people waiting for him under the hotel on the seafront. "I've tried to bring in artists," he said, "who I think are important in the various genres. From the great musical tradition such as the Rich and Poor to successful singers such as Annalisa and The Kolors. I've combined so many musical worlds. I think the connection with Sanremo is right. Those who were asked immediately said yes. I think about what people can like. I don't look at what other people are doing. If you're a strong team, you don't have to worry about your opponents."
"On New Year's Eve - added the conductor - there will be a lot of party, energy and desire to sing. Yesterday I saw the square during practice and it was spectacular. Even the rehearsals made me notice the passion of the Crotone audience."
Amadeus then explained the tribute to Rino Gaetano that will take place during the show. "Rino," he said, "was a genius and it was right to pay homage to him and thank him, making him sing 'But the sky is always bluer' not to a singer, but to the public, to his people. It will be the most beautiful tribute. The simplest things are the most immediate."
"Amadeus," said the president of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, "has brought extraordinary enthusiasm.
The agreement we have made with Rai has so far been very useful for Calabria. There's this 'The Year to Come' initiative, which is extraordinarily important, with an all-star cast. But in the two-year agreement we have signed with Rai, we have also provided for 50 annual slots in as many productions to promote the extraordinary riches of our region".
