Sanremo: Achille Lauro tonight is Elizabeth I

For the final of the Sanremo festival, Achille Lauro is Elizabeth I Tudor .
"I was very impressed by his independence, of which he had made a real bulwark. He seemed to me the most suitable character to close the series of performances with which, in these evenings, I united characters who in different ways inspired me through equally different ways of expressing and experiencing freedom - said Lauro -.
Elizabeth I managed not to care, to keep up with the men with whom she confronted herself: she also did it through her appearance, wearing loose-fitting clothes on her shoulders, to make her physicality as imposing as her personality and never to be inferior to her interlocutors male. "
Queen of England and Ireland, Elizabeth has always been considered an exemplary governor. She was called the virgin queen because she never married. She defended her homeland, with which she loved to say she was "married". His was a kingdom of great artistic flourishing: William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, Edmund Spenser, Francis Bacon are just some of the writers and thinkers who lived during his reign.
The look as in the previous evenings was curated by Gucci, together with Lauro's creative team: a very pop and pictorial tribute, in which Lauro's face was framed by hundreds of pearls. The wig, also marked by inserts of pearls, recalled the queen's hairstyle. On him, ruff and crinoline typical of the time. In the second part of the performance, Lauro removed the structure (which was used to support the large skirts typical of noblewomen's clothing) and revealed a look still inspired by the 70s, but always with references to royalty, consisting of a shirt with a train of pink chiffon, a red velvet trousers and high-heeled ankle boots in red patent leather, which perfectly suited to the physicality of Lauro.
At the end of the exhibition Fiorello wanted to take a photo with him.
