Sanremo 2023, Marco Mengoni is the winner of the Festival
Vita gazette – Marco Mengoni, with the song “Due Vite”, won the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Festival. Second is Lazza, third is Mr Rain, fourth is Ultimo, and fifth is Tananai.
“I wanted to dedicate the victory to all the women who participated in the festival”: these are the first words that Marco Mengoni pronounces immediately after the victory at the Sanremo festival. “Five guys made it to the final, and so I think it’s right to dedicate it to the artists who have brought wonderful pieces to this stage”, he added with the award in his hand and still tears in his eyes with emotion.
“Two lives”
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I still don’t know your desert well
Maybe it’s somewhere in my heart
Where the sun is always off
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want, I’ll take you
We are stuck in such a time
Which lifts the streets
With the sky one step away from here
We are the monsters and the fairies
I should phone you
Tell you the things I feel
But I’m out of excuses
And I have no more defences
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Coffee with lemon
Against hangover
You look like a blurred photo
And we fucked one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last
Song, and then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and you know it
There’s no music here
And you don’t sleep
And where will you be
Where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs, slaps, and mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns do two lives
We are the only ones awake in the entire universe
Shouting a little rage on a rooftop
That no one feels this way
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My Metallic shirt
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Lost among people
How many words
Without ever an answer
And we fucked one more night
Outside a club
And thank goodness
If this is the last
Song, and then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and you know it
There’s no music here
And you don’t sleep
And where will you be
Where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs and slaps, mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you are not sleeping
Turn off the light even if you don’t like it
We stay in the dark, wrapped up
Just from the sound of the voice
Beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
If this is the last song (Song and then the moon will explode)
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and you know it
There’s no music here
I know that you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns do two lives
Two lives
The final night
The final evening of Sanremo opens with a moving tribute by Gianni Morandi to his friend Lucio Dalla, who would have turned 80 on March 4, to the tune of Piazza Grande, Futura and Caruso. All standing, prolonged applause and Gianni looking up to the sky. From Futura to Caruso, the great successes of the Bolognese singer-songwriter.
Rosa Chemical appears on stage with a shirt with holes at the nipples surrounded by glitter, approaches the front row and mimics an embrace with Fedez. Then he drags the rapper onto the stage and hugs and kisses him passionately at the end. And says, “This is the festival of love; it just clicked on me so suddenly.”
Famous culture icon Chiara Ferragni, who aroused intense criticism with her participation in the festival, returns to the stage to Ariston; the co-host speaks again with clothes and with the body, first wearing a sculpture dress, half-gold armour and half-blue satin petticoat, symbolize being women without being mothers. Then the gold body painting on the blue dress, in the name of abortion, assisted procreation.
The legends of music
A long love story, Taste of salt, Heaven in a room: with Gino Paoli, the history of Italian music arrives at the Ariston. Ornella Vanoni sings her timeless songs, Vai Valentina, L’appuntamento and then a medley between Eternity and One more reason. Al Bano, Massimo Ranieri and Gianni Morandi together: standing ovation at Sanremo 2023 for a trio of wonders. Ornella Vanoni and Gino Paoli together in Sanremo 2023, the two artists are among the super guests of the festival finale. And Roby Facchinetti… As always, all are very good…
And Amadeus…
And Amadeus’ performance on stage was once again magnificent. While he failed to mention several of the century’s earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, his stage performance was indisputable. On the other hand, reading the message of Zelensky, one of the leading players in the global and regional wars of power and interest, was another negative point that cast a shadow over the festival. Zelensky stated that he wanted to participate in the festival in a television program he attended, which was accepted. However, the festival management took a step back after the reactions from the public, including the ruling and opposition deputies. And Ariston had to read only Zelenskyj’s letter…
During the third evening of the Sanremo 2023 Festival, Amadeus and Rocio Munoz Morales exchanged a kiss on the stage of the Ariston Theater. The two were the protagonists of a curtain to tell the customs between Spain and Italy, and the misunderstanding led to laughter.
