Preparations are underway for the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Festival, broadcast from 7 to 11 February.

There is a lot of anticipation as demonstrated by the viral success of Chiara Ferragni's selfie with Amadeus, Chiara Francini, Francesca Fagnani and Gianni Morandi . Only Paola Egonu is missing: "We missed you!" Writes Ferragni.

The queen of volleyball will be on stage on Thursday 9 February, Francini on Friday 10, Fagnani on Wednesday 8 while Ferragni will be the protagonist with Amadeus and Gianni Morandi in the first evening of Tuesday 7 February and in the final. The guest list isn't closed yet but there will certainly be the Black Eyed Peas , the Californian trio with 6 Grammys, 35 million albums and 120 million singles sold, millions of streams.

«Finally after three years Sanremo returns to host big names in international music. They come from Los Angeles, have been making hits known all over the world for 25 years and on Wednesday they will make the audience dance in the theater and at home», said Ama. On the same evening , the Ariston will welcome Al Bano, Massimo Ranieri and Gianni Morandi together for the first time in the history of the festival.

Already confirmed Salmo, who will perform from the Costa ship moored in front of Sanremo, and Mahmood and Blanco, who will open the festival with Brividi , the song with which they won the 2022 edition.

There will also be a moment in Ukraine: President Volodymyr Zelensky will be a guest, via video link, on the final evening on Saturday. Bruno Vespa announced it live from Kiev.
