Less than two weeks before the start of the Sanremo festival (6-10 February), the duets on the cover evening on Friday 9 February are still to be made official, but some rumors are starting to circulate, amidst some certainties and interesting suggestions.
In 2017 Francesco Gabbani knelt at the feet of Fiorella Mannoia, in the two-person final, as if to apologize for having won the festival.
Now the Roman singer has invited the Tuscan singer-songwriter to join her on the Ariston stage.
Loredana Bertè, always attentive to young people, focuses on Venerus.
Staying on women, Emma calls the Genoese rapper Bresh, while Annalisa - who flies to the top of the bookmakers' odds - hosts La Representative di Lista, the group that surprised with Ciao Ciao in 2022.
Alessandra Amoroso, for her debut at the festival, goes on the safe side with friends from the hit Mambo Salentino, Boomdabash.
Three young artists could arrive for BigMama.
The Kolors could surprise with the successes and presence of Umberto Tozzi, while the outsider Maninni seeks the support of a veteran like Ermal Meta.
Geolier has assured that he will focus on Neapolitanism also for the cover evening and it is likely that he will be with Gigi D'Alessio and Luchè.
Roman artists are also fishing from home: Il Tre has called to its side Fabrizio Moro, winner with Meta and among the Nuove Proposte, while Gazzelle will be 'helped' by Fulminacci.
Irama is trying to get the final approval from Riccardo Cocciante, the La Sad trio is trying to convince Rettore.
Eiffel 65 responded to Fred De Palma's call, Nada to BNKR44's.
The puzzle of confirmed guests meanwhile sees Marco Mengoni on stage on Tuesday 6 February, also in the double role of co-host;
Wednesday 7 here is Giovanni Allevi, who returns to perform live, and Giorgia who - in addition to supporting Amadeus, celebrates the thirty years of E Poi, the song with which she came seventh among the Nuove Proposte in 1994 but which definitively launched her;
Thursday 8th it's Eros Ramazzotti's turn to return to the stage where it all began forty years ago with the victory in the Nuove Proposte with Terra Promessa;
Saturday 10th Roberto Bolle and Gigliola Cinquetti arrive for the final to propose Non ho l'età again 60 years later.
And while rumors are circulating again, relaunched by TvBlog, about Francesco Totti's possible return to Ariston - an idea born after the former Giallorossi captain hosted Viva Rai2!
- it is Fiorello himself who rides the suggestion of Adriano Celentano, who Amadeus would like to bring to Ariston (and CEO Roberto Sergio to Rai).
Long live Rai2!
the phone rings and Molleggiato's name appears on the screen.
After a deliberate interference, the showman hangs up and shouts: "Hi Adriano, see you where you know!", implying that the appointment is in Sanremo.
