The artists invited to the cover night as guests of the singers performing in Sanremo 2023 can also intervene as guests at any other time of the festival. When Adnkronos carefully leafed through the text of the festival regulations, he found a “paragraph” inserted almost as a footnote towards the end of the text, which could go down in history as the “Jovanotti Prize”. “The invited guest artists, who are to perform alongside the competing artists during the fourth night, will be identified by the latter and their respective record labels and will need to be agreed with the artistic director and with Rai,” the regulations read. Which immediately after brings the novelty: “regardless of their participation in the interpretation of the cover, the guest artists can also be invited as guests of the program in other moments of the festival”.

Last year, as you will recall, someone quibbled over the fact that alongside his duet with Gianni Morandi, Jovanotti had also played the role of the festival’s ‘super guest’, with a big moment of the festival being devoted to tracing back the beginnings of her career Radio Deejay, which ended with Jovanotti declaiming the poem “Bello Mondo” by Mariangela Gualtieri. The controversy raged. Someone wondered if, with televoting still open, Jovanotti’s show could not be configured to help Morandi’s race, who finished third last year.
The organization of the festival this year apparently anticipated the possibility that the participating artists, as guests of the duets, could also become guests of the festival. Scrolling through the news of the last few days, the thought immediately flies to Carla Bruni, who will be dueting with Colapesce and Dimartino (the matter has now been widely spoiled). But the eyes are also on Marco Mengoni and Elodie, whose appearance on the evening of the duets is not yet known. According to rumors collected by Adnkronos, the delay in communication (but also in the spoilers) of the guests of these and other artists could hide national and international surprises that would close in these hours and that could deserve a “super guest ‘ on the stage of the Ariston . In addition, the new rule also ensures the presence as guests of the duets of Shari and Article 31 (but also the festival, connected by the ship) of Salmo and Fedez.
