Sanremo 2021, public hypothesis of the Ariston in quarantine on a cruise ship. The controversy breaks out

After the media “hangover” by the announcement of 26 Big in gara to the next San Remo Festival 2021, now we move on to the actual organization of the event. The departure date, for now, seems to be confirmed: March 2 with the final on March 6, 2021. Several times both the director of Rai Uno Stefano coletta that the artistic director and director Amadeo they pointed out that San Remo without an audience is unthinkable and that the organizing machine is working, quietly, to transport the music festival until March. Of course, everything will depend on the January pandemic curve and whether the contagion situation will be “under control” in the coming weeks.

However, a suggestive hypothesis appears, but one FQ Magazine turns out to be more than concrete – to assure the audience of the Ariston Theater in Sanremo. The place Dagospia revealed that the resigning president of Rai Pubblicità (in January he will join the Milan-Cortina Foundation for the 2026 Olympic Games, ed) Antonio Marano has found an ideal solution that satisfies marketing but is also practical and effective for the security of the Festival. The 400 people in the audience will be buffered and “quarantined”, aboard the Costa Smeralda Cruise. “At the beginning of hour X, thanks to the tenders, the guests will disembark at the port and from there, by bus, they will be unloaded directly at the Ariston theater”, explains Dagospia. In addition, “the Palafiori will continue to operate, welcoming professionals, record companies, the press room, the radio station and the daytime programs connected from San Remo. Some Rai shows will have the Casino or the stage in Piazza Colombo as their location, from where the long red carpet to the Ariston will begin. There are still doubts about whether and how to do the Dopofestival… ”.

Does not fit Michele Anzaldi, secretary of the Rai Supervisory Commission, who thundered on social networks: “While all theaters and museums have been closed for months, while concerts have been banned for some time and the entire cultural industry is on its knees, the rich Rai, the only one company in Italy that does not have budgetary problems because it supports itself with the canonical money of the Italians, I would like to have a preferential lane for Sanremo, circumventing the law with a dubious operation that would attract hundreds of people to the Ariston as an audience. The confirmation given to the press that such a solution would be considered is very serious, it is urgent that clarifications arrive in the Vigilance Committee. President Barachini expects transparency from those responsible for the public function ”.

And finally a series of questions: “Who guarantees that transferring hundreds of people from hotels or ships every day does not endanger the health of Italians? Who guarantees that the Festival will not become a maximum accumulation of contagions? Is the San Remo Festival the only TV and music event in the world that can afford to disregard anti-Covid restrictions? The whole world had to anticipate Christmas Mass and the birth of the Bambinello, but can’t Rai give up his Spendopoli? How much would such an operation cost?”.

According to some indiscretions collected by FQ Magazine, the hypothesis “Sanremo in barca” under study would seem the only possible, for now, to ensure that all current health protocols are respected. In addition, it is not excluded that, on board the ship, the organization of the Festival, the authors, the orchestras, the technicians, in short, the beating heart of the San Remo Festival can also set sail. The risk of contagion is always around the corner and we would like to avoid problems and setbacks. A true test of strength (and a lot of courage) to guarantee a Covid-19 proof Festival. Practical doubts have also arisen for the docking of the ship in the small port of San Remo, but the solution would be around the corner (literally) about 2 km from the town. There was no denial or response from the event organization on the whole issue.
