Amadeus revealed a preview of Sanremo 2020 to Mara Venier on Domenica In. Twenty singers will compete among the big names, with the third evening dedicated to performances featuring songs from the Festival's history, with scores added to those from previous evenings and counting towards the final rankings. Furthermore, the return of international guests will be a welcome addition to Fiorello's performances. In his dual role as host and artistic director, Amadeus has decided to dedicate the 70th edition of the Festival to the songs that have shaped Sanremo's history: "The first two evenings will feature the songs, while the third evening, on Thursday, will be an entire tribute to the Sanremo song. All 20 competing singers will choose one of the songs from the Festival's 70th anniversary and will be able to reinterpret it however they want and with whomever they choose: with the original singer, another performer, a choir, or alone; it will be a free tribute." The important thing is that it won't be an evening of entertainment for its own sake, but the reinterpretation will be awarded a score and added to the rankings from previous days. No details about the competing singers have been revealed: "I'm just starting to listen to the songs," admitted the host of 'Soliti Ignoti', who hopes to "bring some very strong characters." Another new feature of the Festival, which begins February 4, 2020, will be the return of major international guests: "It's due to the great show because this edition, these 70 years, demands it. An event within an event." Regarding possible 'incursions' by his friend Fiorello, Amadeus anticipated: "Rosario is my brother. He called me and asked if I was anxious. 'I am,' he told me. 'You leave the door open, I'll come in and out.' Rosario and I are like brothers. Rosario knows that the door to Sanremo is open. I've known him for 35 years, and he has the freedom to do what he wants, come in where he wants, go where he wants, and invent whatever he wants. He doesn't even need to let me know."
A live TV joke turns into a media sensation. It happened during "La Pennicanza" on Rai 2, when Fiorello, with a mix of irony and improvisation, dropped what he himself called a "scoop" about Lazio's future.
The host was joking while waiting for a response on the video call from singer Giorgia when, while talking to Biggio, he suddenly changed the subject: "I have a scoop, I learned something. According to Lazio's friends, Lazio will be bought by spring, and I even know by whom. Can I say it? These are rumors, Roman rumors. I can't say it's just a rumor because in Rome, there are streets..."
"La Pennicanza" is back: the first episode of 2026 for Fiorello and Biggio's show, airing Monday through Friday at 13:45 PM on Rai Radio2 and on channel 202, with the usual comedy, improvisation, and fast-paced performances, even in the new year. The episode couldn't help but open with a response to…
