As the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival approaches its conclusion, speculation is already rife about who will succeed Carlo Conti as its host. The festival has garnered significant attention this year, and many are considering Stefano De Martino as a potential successor. His recent success in the television landscape, particularly against veteran host Gerry Scotti, has positioned him as a popular choice among audiences and experts alike. Giancarlo Mazzi, the Undersecretary of Culture and a former artistic director of Sanremo, has publicly supported De Martino, further fueling the rumor mill.

Carlo Conti, the current host, has confirmed that this will be his last time leading the festival, leaving a substantial void that needs to be filled. In interviews, Conti made it clear that he does not take issue with the discussions surrounding his successor, indicating that he is comfortable with the transition. The search for the next host is already becoming a topic of significant interest, not just for the festival, but for national television as a whole, as the next host will shape the future direction of this storied event.

Elisa, a notable figure in the music industry, expressed her flattery at the prospect of De Martino's potential inclusion in the lineup, illustrating the positive reactions among peers regarding his candidacy. With the Sanremo Summer format also in consideration and in need of a new host, the discussions are likely to intensify, reflecting both the competition and excitement that surrounds one of Italy's most beloved television events.
