The first super guest of Sanremo has been announced: it is Checco Zalone

Checco Zalone will be super guest on one of the five Sanremo evenings.

The Apulian actor and director dissolved his reservations: "Amadeus, have you finished paying the mortgage on the house? Did you buy a house for your son? Then you will no longer work at full Telelombardia", he joked in the Tg1 report that documented the contract signature.

Among the latest catchphrases conceived by the comedian “La vacinada”, launched last spring and sung in macaronic Spanish paired with Helen Mirren, to make fun of fears and hopes related to the vaccine.

A year earlier, the desire to exorcise the pandemic had already been a source of inspiration for another song, "Herd immunity will arrive", in which Zalone acted together with Virginia Raffaele.

Luca Medici, born in Bari in 1977, is the box-office record holder of Italian cinema with a haul of more than 220 million euros raised with his films ("Cado dalle stelle", "Che bella giorno", "Sole a catinelle "," Quo vado? "And" Tolo Tolo ").

With the Zalone hit, Amadeus and his team work on fine-tuning the regular cast and other guests. The attention remains focused on Fiorello, who has left the boxes of the Sanremo week free in the calendar of the theater tour: the hope is that he will return to the festival, perhaps for the final.

In the meantime, the organizational machine is in full swing, albeit with the utmost attention to the Covid emergency: with super green pass and frequent tampons for all professionals, the obligation to wear an Ffp2 mask except on live video; diversified accesses and paths for cast, artists, orchestras and crowded roofs for each area, even during rehearsals, Rai is working to secure the Ariston, updating the stringent health protocol already applied last year based on the new indications of the government and the need to face the Omicron nightmare.

The unknown capacity in the Ariston room remains: the surge in infections could impose a reduction in attendance in cinemas and theaters, which can now be 100% occupied.
