The people of "Sgarbistan 1 La Libertà", the "multi-ethnic and inter-religious" chat which aims to spread art, culture and beauty founded by Vittorio Sgarbi and made up of thousands of personalities from all sectors of society, are loudly calling for the appointment of Morgan as artistic director of the Sanremo Festival 2025.
The large gathering of artists and intellectuals, co-opted by the famous art critic in a large container of virtual freedom on Whatsapp, would like the histrionic former X Factor judge to be the artistic guide of the prestigious music event.
«Morgan, an all-round cultured artist, a free-thinking mind, author of magnificent songs, often at the center of controversy for his free exposure to debate without submitting to the abuses of followers of political correctness», writes one of the spokespersons of the collective, « he would have given his assent: a candidacy, his, in strong contrast with the possible one of Amadeus which would be in its sixth consecutive run".
Certainly, the document continues, «the element of distinction would be represented by innovation and revolution, perhaps preserving a return to true musical culture, that of De André, Tenco and many other poets of our music».
For a few days now, there has also been an online petition online which proposes the same investiture for Marco Castoldi.
Tonight, with a post that received over 2000 likes within an hour, Vittorio Sgarbi himself, from his Facebook profile, officially relaunched the candidacy of the multifaceted singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician, writer, composer, music popularizer and talent scout as patron of the Ariston stage for the 75th edition.
«Does Morgan have a “not easy” character? I don't see the problem", explains Sgarbi, "it's like Mozart and Vasco Rossi. Morgan, artistic director of the 2025 Sanremo Festival, would be perfect, as he would have been before. I see him as more mature and more philosophical so, now that the controversies are over, Morgan is now ready to demonstrate both musical and personal maturity. We launched a petition on "Sgarbistan", the chat in which around 2 thousand people are registered, including politicians, artists and journalists - concludes the Mayor of Arpino and President of the Mart of Rovereto - and for now there are more than a thousand members who they signed to have him as artistic director of the next Sanremo Festival."
An original and weighty proposal that could reach dizzying numbers in a few days given the transversal esteem that Morgan enjoys among several generations of enthusiasts and subscribers to state TV.
