"I'm moderately happy: I wouldn't be discouraged by ferocious results, I don't get excited by the wonderful ones. Let's pedal."

Carlo Conti comments on the audience figures for the second evening of the Sanremo Festival: 11,800,000 viewers, with a share of 64.6 percent, according to the Total Audience released by Auditel, watched the second evening of the 75th Italian Song Festival.

With Carlo Conti tonight there will be Miriam Leone, Elettra Lamborghini and Katia Follesa (a chef from Brianza with a Sardinian father, born in Villacidro).

"This is my first time and a half after being a guest in 2009 - says Leone - when Carlo called me I was very happy, also because I won Miss Italia with him in 2008, he's a bit of a lucky charm for me. I said yes without thinking even though, ten years ago, I had said no, it was 2015 and I was filming Non Uccidere in Turin. So when he called me back I thought "I can't refuse again". I've been a fan of Sanremo since I was a child and it seems like a dream to be here".

Follesa: "I'm thrilled to be here. I expect to have a lot of fun tonight. I deserve this stage after so many years of work and I'm very happy to be part of it with my colleagues." "I'm ready, I've had my hair waxed, colored and everything. My luck is that I have a heart condition and I take a sedative that blocks my anxiety."

Lamborghini is also happy, recalling his experience as a Big in Gara in 2020: «I don't know why that stage is so scary, it's a very strong emotion. I'd like to go back to the race but I'm looking for the right song».
