Renato Zero attacks the Sanremo Festival 2023. The Roman singer-songwriter lashed out at Rosa Chemical’s performance on the Ariston stage, which culminated in a kiss to Fedez that sparked much controversy. «It’s not Rosa Chemical’s fault, but those who believe that music is just performance and who bring people onto the stage who haven’t yet had this artistic preparation. From those who believe that music is wishful thinking,” the singer said during the press conference to introduce his next tour.
Attack of Renato Zero in Sanremo
«I am not a singer, I am an interpreter of feelings». This is how Renato Zero proposes himself during the presentation of his “Zero a Zero” tour, almost a “face to face” between the artist who was and the one of today, or if you prefer between the man and the singer , indeed the interpreter. Who also gives his interpretation of his absence from the Sanremo Festival and his simultaneous presence in Maria De Filippi’s C’è Posta per te program on Canale5, precisely on the last night at the Ariston. “I’m a professional, a respectable person, never speculating,” he likes to say when addressing the television subject of his participation in the Maria De Filippi program and the simultaneous renunciation of a trip to Sanremo. “I was asked by Amadeus about Sanremo: but before going to the festival you have to prepare all the artillery, while for Maria you only have to wear a suit and shiny heeled shoes, it’s less demanding,” he smiles before putting it on for one The moment it gets dark: “I thought it was a bit out of place for Mediaset to decide to send me into the trenches,” he accuses. And he promises: “If I’m invited to the Sanremo Festival again next year, I’ll think about it…”. Speaking of musical performances, not only on the Ariston stage, Renato Zero, who decades earlier had suggested songs with explicit titles like “Mi vendo” or “Il Triangle”, comments: “Once there were many experts in the house’s record companies who Gave you the right advice and helped you find your artistic path with the right timing. Today it’s not Rosa Chemical’s fault or any of the other guys who are always to be acquitted… The blame lies instead with those who think that being a singer is an impromptu job and that there is no responsibility in being front stage the public, theater or television”.
