From then on, in 2021, Zitti e Buoni began their triumphal march to the top of the world. And on this stage they are preparing for their return, super guests of the third evening of Sanremo, Thursday February 9th, after having symbolically opened last year’s edition. Maneskin are the surprise announced by Amadeus at 8pm on Tg1, guests in the studio with Damiano, Victoria and Thomas – absent Ethan, sick at home – on the day of the release of the new album ‘Rush!’, which has already risen to the first 1st place on the iTunes charts in 20 countries. “The news is I’m the fourth Maneskin tonight,” joked Amadeus as he introduced the artists to the studio: “Ethan get well soon,” the Artistic Director’s wish, which launched a “teaser” in the 1:30pm edition and then waited for the arrival of his guests in the Saxa Rubra parking lot.
“We can’t wait to return to Sanremo – said Damiano – we were hoping for it, it’s always an honor for us.” “I still invite them every year – Amadeus repeated it – because Sanremo is strongly linked to them, there is an advantage when the Maneskin are there.” The group has depopulated in America, but for the glamorous wedding they celebrated the release of Rush! chose his city: “Rome has the Maneskins in its heart,” emphasized Victoria. “The record is doing very well, all the wonderful comments are coming from the fans.”
They will arrive at the Ariston on Thursday evening, “also because they were in the United States the day before, they are coming especially for Sanremo. You’ll see what happens to the maneskin, it’ll be pure energy,” Amadeus promised.
