was an event not to miss so many years ago when I was a child! TV sets were few and were on display in public places, bars, clubs and very few were families who had one and they were better off than today for me is rich who has none. Sanremo just because I talk about in my memory evokes fond memories and others want to be a sort of recognition because how many have grown through its presence that manifested itself at the dawn of television. This also applies to the time that marked Carousel in which children had to go to sleep. "After sleeping carousel"
runs across the small village square to cover the short distance that separated me from home to join the club "Unione Sportiva" which united me to my father and his friends together to watch the Festival of Sanremo . It was an event that held all together in a sort of collective pathos. Excited in front of that box with the gray screen when switched off, but when it was switched on at the scheduled time and appeared to sober the first images in black and white and sweet melodies come to strike the ear of one who was busy playing pool or cards or those already sitting in front of the screen religiously wrapped in clouds of cigarette smoke, ceased all activities, including conversations, to cover the event without missing a single beat.
So it was in my early years in Rome, when the mother went to the bar near the house that organized the event for the small room with chairs where you had to arrive early to take the places in foot otherwise. Mina singing "Moon Tan". A strange character that reminded me very nice I loved Jerry Lewis, writhing with the song "24 thousand kisses" and shocked the audience turned away and turned only after the change of time the orchestra, were my favorite because it is more obviously transgressive and modern, while people largest ecstasy enjoyed the songs sung by Jonny Dorelli, Julia De Palma, Domenico Modugno, Miranda Martino.
That easy-going public, as they once were, he felt satisfied when the festival of Italian song ended. In the days that followed always felt that someone was whistling or deal with this or that reason he was impressed.
Over the years, the appointment with San Remo becomes something else, although more and more often miss appointments, if I understood them a little peek rather casually, as I observe the phenomenon, as a representation of changes in Italian rather than the songs themselves. The songs, and this is a process for years, are vanishing, not the memories, can not remember who won the year before, there is nothing left, everything is ground fast and noisy images have only just mirror of our times and the only links are the Clerici, baud, I Bonolis ... in short, the various conductors and some guests are also the only ones to leave a hint.
It 's very hard to remember even the most carefully selected beautiful valleys of the same songs and the Festival is alive with the usual evening lonely dotage before a television screen that is sending one of the many highlights of our singing competition television anesthetic.
From an article in the newspaper Avvenire
"The festival is almost laughable. In the midst of the perpetual festival Italy, Sanremo to now, despite big words and commercials, is a pale ghost. "" If you can not give us - we read the article - Sanremo a fun, popular, able to speak of simple things, but deep Close the cabin with flowers and everything else and say something that Italians usually difficult to accept: "Something has changed". "
"The fault - continued Future - belongs to all those who work around the event. In particular, managers (recordings, television and even artistic) world of the song. Which have weakened Sanremo a favore di altro, che hanno penalizzato la buona canzone per inseguire stereotipi e figurini televisivi. Che hanno ammorbato il gusto del pubblico fino a voler far credere che un Pupo o un Principe fossero un evento o qualcosa del genere. Ma il pubblico è più intelligente dei dirigenti dello spettacolo. E ormai guarda a Sanremo come a un tè con la zia. Un inevitabile passaggio, un obbligo morale non si sa da quale etica assurto a legge. In questa epoca moralista e libertina, va a finire che Sanremo proveranno a trasformarlo in una specie di ’baluardo morale. Forse ci dobbiamo aspettare dal palco dell’Ariston, come lo scorso anno la banda dei Carabinieri ed i pistolotti viscidi di Costanzo, un appello alla rinascita del Paese? Sarebbe una catastrophe. Better to go down with the 'guitar and everything else. If Sanremo is no longer capable of being the Festival, close it. It would be the only case of euthanasia acceptable. "
'Year of Unity could be a good year for him to die. Good Morandi has agreed to become, after 50 years of honorable singing career, a colleague of Baudo and Frizzi. We hope that his sacrifice and his excessive vanity serves to make more room for good songs. Tell us a reason to stop singing or to make the useless noise. Here there is already enough chaos "
