Dolcenera remember from the pages of Fanpage Pippo Baudowhich led her to victory to Sanremo Giovani 2003.
A story that highlights the conductor's working method even better, especially with young people, and which is added to the many testimonies of these hours of great emotion. The world of music and television gives the last farewell to the presenter who marked the story of the festival like no one else, capable of discovering and launching dozens of artists.
Dolcenera: “He understood my music even when he wasn't in his taste”
Dolcenera It is among the last talents launched by Baudo at the Sanremo Festival together with Sonohra. In fact, the singer -songwriter won in 2003 in the category new proposals with the song We are all out there.
“I met for the first time and I understood his genius that was in three points: birth and education, professionalism, a mind capable of perceiving and enhancing an expressive form even if he did not belong to his tastes.
On the song with which I won, We are all out therehe pointed out that the first -person songs were written mainly by men, but that women could also do it. This advice opened a world to me. “
A teaching that Dolcenera He still brings with him, as well as another of Baudo's main features:
“Another fundamental point of his figure, that is, that he represented television, but at the same time he managed to defend the music from the television itself, as if he defended you from a part of himself“Said the singer -songwriter a Fanpage In an interview with Andrea Parrella.
Baudo's “rule” for young people interrupted
The memory also expands to a detail linked to the Festival:
“The following year in Sanremo there was no one but Tony Renis, who decided to erase Baudo's legacy and one of the main customs of his Sanremo, namely that the winning artist in Sanremo Giovani took part in the Big race the following year. I was the first to lose this possibility“.
A tradition strongly desired by Pippo Baudo To help consecrate the new proposals and that in the years following 2003 it was respected only in a few cases. In 2005, for example, also Laura Bono – winner among the new proposals with Paolo Bonolis – he did not have the same privilege, and the same fate touched over the years a Casillo, Tony Maiello And Antonio Maggio. Only in some festivals conducted by Carlo Conti or Claudio Baglioni This rule has returned to force.
Returning to Dolcenera And to his relationship with Baudo, the two also confronted the current music scene:
“In 2019 we made a trip together by car, from Taormina to Catania, after a concert, and he told me that once, when a singer came out with characteristics, another could not come out with the same characteristics, because there was already there. There was the value of differentiation, while that of the approval is now prevailing. But I am convinced that this thing will break, a bubble destined to burst“.

Waiting for new music …

His memory of Baudobetween personal anecdotes and reflections on today's music, adds a precious piece to the host's collective portrait.
