Curtain up in Sanremo, controversy over Ornella Muti: "Right to legalize cannabis"
The actress and the legalization of soft drugs: "I think it's the best thing". Salvini: "Drugs are dead". Thursday guest Saviano
Everything is ready for the first evening of the Sanremo Festival, broadcast from tonight to Saturday 5 February.
The first companion of the conductor Amadeus will be Ornella Muti, who already triggers the first controversy of the event. Urged by journalists to talk about her ideas on the referendum for the legalization of soft drugs, she replied that "I do not sell joints, I am a mother, I am a grandmother, I am aware of the dangers", but "I believe that legalizing soft drugs is the best thing ".
"It is a complicated thing to manage. But there is a whole dangerous round and there are much heavier things: it is better to have the possibility of obtaining recipes - he adds -. We can all drink wine and no one cares. The kids go in an ethyl coma continuously. We will have to understand by legalizing what will happen ".
In the meantime, she says she is a great supporter of already legal cannabis, namely the therapeutic one: "I push the therapeutic aspect of cannabis: I treat myself homeopathically and it is my choice, which thank God is not prohibited".
SALVINI'S RESPONSE - "Drugs are dead - is the replica of Lega leader Matteo Salvini - and I will always and in any case fight it. Honor to the boys and girls who, in San Patrignano and throughout Italy, fight for life and for freedom from addictions ".
SAVIANO THURSDAY - With the topic aside, Amadeus launches the news about a new guest: Roberto Saviano, who will take the stage on Thursday with a monologue. "I heard with him last night - he explained - he sent me the vocal with the whole monologue, it is really very touching and very beautiful, as only Roberto can do. It will make us reflect a lot".
THE LADDER - Tonight the curtain will go up at 20.45. The guests will be the Måneskin and the tennis player Matteo Berrettini. Raoul Bova and Nino Frassica for Don Matteo, Claudio Gioé for Màkari will also be promoting the upcoming Rai fictions.
