Milan, Feb 22 (LaPresse) – "I am fine, calm, serene, we have worked very well, I am very happy with the rehearsals, all the singers are satisfied. There is a beautiful sound, the visuals are stunning, so I hope to bring all this energy that will come from the Ariston stage into people’s homes." This is what Carlo Conti said during an interview with Tg1, two days before the start of the Sanremo Festival. "This edition is dedicated to Pippo Baudo, so from the very beginning there will be this reference," he added. "High ratings or perfect tan? Perfect tan, perfect tan. In these days in Sanremo every ray of sun is mine, I don’t know if you can see, but I have already slightly changed the color of my skin thanks to the Sanremo sun," Conti said. "Pucci? Was there an incident? Is it true? I hadn’t noticed. Humanly and professionally I felt sorry for him, but I also understand because obviously a comedian coming here must arrive serene, calm, he cannot have the fear that the atmosphere is not right to go on this stage," Conti concluded.
