Sanremo, Claudio Baglioni confesses: “I wouldn’t do it again”

“I really think I wouldn’t do it again.” Thus Claudio Baglioni speaking of the Sanremo Festival. “It is a special occasion. It is a luxury that one can afford at most once or twice “, underlined the guest artist of ‘Verissimo’, in the episode that will be broadcast today. Artistic director in 2018 and 2019, conductor and super guest is never instead took the stage as a competitor: “For some musicians of my generation, the Festival was a place where you didn’t have to go. We looked at it with a bit of aristocracy. Instead, in recent years it has regained its incredible strength.” Then he underlined: “Sanremo is a great Italian comedy, very interesting and difficult to deal with, so much so that I adopted two terminologies: the first time I was appointed artistic dictator and the second hijacker because I made changes such as those to remove the elimination of singers and even abolishing the difference between young people and champions. There have been many claims such as Ultimo, Achille Lauro and Mahmood. This is extremely important because it means that we have brought Sanremo towards the music that is listened to and appreciated. ”The Roman singer-songwriter is now ready to return to the scene with a professional challenge. He will be the protagonist of a concert opera entitled ‘In this story that is mine’ at the cinema from 2 to 4 November: “It is an autobiographical love story. This is one of the things that I still find good when reviewing, although I am very self-critical. It is truly a wonderful experience ”.
