Fiorello and Amadeus
Other than controversy: the real “bogeyman” of Amadeus is now Auditel, which will decree the success of the Sanremo festival 2020. The legacy is heavy because the Romagna driver comes after two very successful managements: that of Claudio Baglioni, ‘patron’ of the latest editions, and that of Carlo Conti, at the helm from 2015 to 2017. The wait for this 70 ° Festival will it benefit on the front listen? Waiting for the response, here all the numbers of the first evenings.
Listen to Sanremo, prime time: the last ten festivals
Let’s go over the auditel story of the early evening of the Italian Song Festival, from last year’s edition to that of 2010, which kicked off the second decade of the event in the new century, in a phase of great change for TV, which has gone from analogue to digital. It should be noted that competition from the other main networks has, in fact, raised more and more white flags from year to year.
