Claudio Santamaria recently shared his thoughts on his performance at the Sanremo Music Festival, where he sang alongside Malika Ayane. Upon returning to the set, he recalled how the atmosphere was filled with excitement as people praised his performance while jokingly suggesting he should focus on racing instead of acting. Santamaria is currently working on a musical-themed series and promoting his film 'Idoli-Fino all'ultima corsa,' set to be released on March 19 through Warner.

Santamaria’s experience at Sanremo is not his first; he reminisced about his previous participation in 2009, where he paid tribute to legendary Italian singer Fabrizio De André along with the band PFM and actor Stefano Accorsi. This time, however, he felt more exhilarated performing with Malika as they engaged a live audience, highlighting the obsessive preparation that went into their performance. He emphasized the importance of practice and confidence, stating that thorough preparation is key to a successful performance.

The upcoming film 'Idoli-Fino all'ultima corsa,' directed by Mat Whitecross, features other talents such as Oscar Casas and Ana Mena and delves into themes surrounding music and passion. The film's release in theaters is eagerly anticipated, and Santamaria's current projects are sure to resonate with fans of music and cinema alike, further elevating his profile as an artist who seamlessly blends acting and musical performances. He's clearly excited to continue pursuing such diverse projects, potentially making him a prominent figure in both film and music.
