Adriano Aragozzinihistorical artistic director of the Sanremo Festival from 1989 to 1993, took the opportunity of an interview given to Free to throw heavy arrows against Amadeusat the helm of the event in its 2020 to 2024 editions.
Let's take a step back for the younger ones who perhaps due to anagraphic reasons don't know Aragozzini.
The career of Adriano Aragozzini He approached the world of entertainment when, at the age of 22, he began working as a journalist for Tv Smiles & Songs And TodayIt is precisely during this period that he meets Gino Paul who chooses him as his manager. During his career he collaborates with Dominic Modugno, Louis I'm trying And patty Pravo but it also lets young talents slip away like Lucio Dalla And Renato Zero.
During his career he organizes live shows with Italian and international artists and produces films and events on television. At the end of the 80s he linked his name to Sanremo Festival first as artistic director (from 1989 to 1991) with among other things the merits of bringing back, at the urging of Renato Zero, My Martini on the stage of the event and to bring live music back after some with playback, then as executive producer of the editions presented by Foo Baudo in 1992 and 1993.
In the 2000s he produced some television programs and participated as a television critic in a program of Piero Chiambretti.
Adriano Aragozzini's interview and the jabs at Amadeus
At 86 years old, the manager gave interviews on the occasion of his daughter's wedding, saying that he works as the manager of a tenor, whom he defined as “wonderful”, Joseph stems.
And it is precisely in relation to this that the praise comes to Carlo Accounts and the lunge to Amadeus:
“I will try to propose him at the Sanremo Festival. The arrival of Carlo Conti next year at Sanremo is a positive fact for Italian music. He has style, class, category. He can do very well and gives me confidence.
Mr. Amadeus, so celebrated for this 'audience miracle', has Americanized the Festival. If you look at the Rai audience ratings, in my Sanremo of 1989 there was not a single evening that Amadeus beat, but nobody wrote that“.
And right on Amadeus he makes a point of pointing the finger:
“As an artist I don't argue with that, but as a man it's non-existent. I have messages on my phone that I keep.
They are about the days when I looked for him to propose my artist, but Amadeus discarded two songs. But he wanted to discard Adriano Aragozzini, not the songs. The content is a document that I want to keep with me and that I would take out if he ever responded after reading the interview“.
Also on current TV hosts Adriano Aragozzini:
“Alessandro Cattelan? For goodness sake.
Stefano De Martino? He doesn't seem like a star to me.
Someone like Pippo Baudo is born every hundred years, there is no new Baudo. I like Marco Liorni but he is always from the generation of Conti, etc. Look, if there are any good young people, I don't know any.“.
