Today marks the start of the 76th Sanremo Festival, a significant event in Italian music and culture. The festival will be hosted by Carlo Conti, and anticipation surrounds the press conference scheduled for noon, where details about the first evening's lineup and performances will be revealed. With a rich history, the festival attracts attention not only for the music but also for the cultural importance it holds in Italy.

Additionally, this year’s festival includes features such as a detailed analysis of the lyrics and meanings behind the songs, as well as a unique interactive component called 'FantaSanremo,' which encourages audience participation by providing rules, bonuses, and penalties. The event is designed to engage not just fans of the music but also those interested in the dynamics of the festival's competitions and voting processes.

A new highlight this year is the opening of Casa Vessicchio, launched in memory of the late maestro Peppe Vessicchio, who was revered for his contributions to music and mentorship of young artists. His daughter, Alessia, shares that the project aims to create a welcoming space for friends of the festival and aspiring talents, emphasizing the importance of community and connection in the celebration of music.
