Marco Mengoni's show in the first evening of the Sanremo Festival.
First standing ovation for Mengoni who sings Due Vite, the song with which he won the 2023 edition of the festival.
And the whole theater gets excited and accompanies him in chorus.
"Coming back and playing live with the orchestra is too much, too much to describe it with one adjective", Mengoni then comments with tears in his eyes.
Then he goes to remove the metal mesh to "put his co-host clothes back on".
Then the curtain call with Amadeus.
From Cavallo Pazzo's anti-dive mat to Gianni Morandi's broom: Marco Mengoni arrives on the Ariston stage equipped with all the tools to prevent any emergencies at the festival.
But above all he distributes 'preser-kisses', transparent plastic filters to avoid the risk of new Rosa Chemical cases, and underlines: "All kisses have the same rights, you can kiss without causing a scandal".
In addition to a mattress and broom, Marco Mengoni also arrives equipped with a net, to collect any scores thrown by the orchestra (as happened in 2010) and then handcuffs to prevent singers from escaping, a clear reference to the Bugo-Morgan affair, and ties up his wrist to that of Amadeus.
Then halfway through the match he returns to the stage in the middle of the evening with a medley of his hits which receives a second standing ovation from the Ariston audience.
