«I come to Sardinia every year, as often as possible, and I also bring Angela!».

Angelo Sotgiu of Rich and Poor, competing in Sanremo with "Ma non tutto la vita", never forgets his homeland , Gallura, and precisely Trinità d'Agultu where he was born 77 years ago. From here, as a child, he moved with his family to Genoa, but the island always remained in his heart. So much so that, he said, with his first earnings he bought a house on Isola Rossa.

«In Sardinia a wonderful sea, the people are wonderful. Apart from him», jokes the “brunette” Angela Brambati. «We were there a few months ago and we'll gladly go back, so we can drink a bit of Vermentino, a bit of Cannonau, filu e' ferru and go».

And together they improvise a Corsicana , a famous song about bandits adapted by Maria Carta who titled it “Antoneddu, Antoneddu” in a 1971 single. Even if Angela's, he smiles, is "half Sardinian".

Yesterday the great return to the Ariston stage, after 32 years and with 12 Sanremos behind them, wrapped in a maxi bow that immediately went viral on social media . The energy is sensational: «The song immediately amused us – they say – It's fresh, cheerful. You don't always have to hit the highest note or scream to be good. We couldn't wait to walk out on stage with that giant bow. This is our philosophy, which has kept us together until today. I was just worried that Angelo would trip: in that case I would have started laughing and walked away. We didn't come here to win, but to participate. We feel happy and lucky."
