Even Rai television, through a press statement, announced that Carlo will be part of the next edition, after being unanimously selected by the company's top managers, general manager Giampaolo Rossi, director of Prime Time Entertainment, Marcello Ciannamea, as well as CEO, Roberto Sergio.
Since for years Sanremo has been moderated by the famous Amadeus, this is a new challenge and experience for Carlo Conti.
The moderator and the new artistic director of the Festival said: "After seven years, I will try to build on the work of Baglioni and Amadeus. I am very grateful for all the love that the people at Rai have given me. Hosting Sanremo for the next two years, 2025 and 2026, will be a wonderful way to celebrate my 40 years at Rai. From today, I will start thinking about the rules, then I will start listening to the songs and I will plan the team on stage".
