NO, Roberto Benigni in Sanremo 2023 not everyone liked it. The monologue on the Constitution on the opening night of the Festival Sergio Mattarellastill sparks debate and controversy. And it’s not just the politicians who take sides, but also “unsuspicious” such DJ Ringowho lashes out in a lengthy interview with mowmag.com commenting on every single aspect of the Ariston event that ended with last weekend’s victory Marco Mengoni.
And as I said, the opinions on Benigni’s monologue and the failure against Amadeus, the artistic director, make a lot of noise, especially in Ringo’s interview. In fact, Dj Ringo says: “It’s the Italian music festival, if you shuffle the cards and talk about something else, it’s not good. And also applies to politics. Benigni is a monster, but what does the constitutional monologue in Sanremo have to do with it? I personally didn’t get it. one can say, right? I don’t insult him.”

So he adds: “As artistic director, I struggled to understand why 40 minutes passed before the first song came on stage. Amadeus has to do the numbers and he does themand I congratulate him for finding the key, but it is him compelled to make these excuses. Since I don’t think you get these ratings with Italian music, you have to make up these gimmicks and I apologize if I use that term to refer to Benigni, who is a genius.” A scathing, pointed opinion. An opinion shared by Ringo, which, as mentioned, concerns more than Benigni Amadeus, the conductor and artistic director, who, despite the undeniable successes in terms of ratings, is increasingly being discussed.
