Gerry Scotti and Antonella Clerici have been officially announced as co-hosts of the first night of the Sanremo Music Festival 2025. The announcement was made by Carlo Conti during a surprise phone call on Clerici's program "È sempre mezzogiorno" on Rai1. The two, described as "longtime friends," will take the Ariston stage for the opening night, which will feature Jovanotti as a special guest.
Gerry Scotti and the green light from Mediaset
Gerry Scotti has received authorization from Mediaset to join Carlo Conti in hosting the evening, scheduled for Tuesday, February 11. The confirmation of his participation in the Sanremo Festival represents a debut on the prestigious stage for the well-known host.
Jovanotti, super guest of the festival
Artistic director Carlo Conti has managed to involve two icons of Italian music and television: in addition to Gerry Scotti, Jovanotti promises to offer an extraordinary show. The 'Lucky Boy' has already graced the Ariston stage on several occasions, while for Scotti this will be his first experience at the festival.
Reflections on the past and expectations
Gerry Scotti, currently busy with the program 'Io Canto Senior' on Canale 5, had previously stated that, in the event of a proposal, his publisher Pier Silvio Berlusconi would not create obstacles. It is not the first time that Mediaset has allowed the participation of its famous faces at the Festival, just think of Maria De Filippi in 2017. This year, Scotti also showed off his singing skills with the album 'Gerry Christmas'; it remains to be seen whether he will offer a musical surprise to the Sanremo audience.
