In an interview on RTL 102.5’s Nonstop News, FIMI’s CEO said: Enzo Mazza (Italian Industrial Music Federation)We have mentioned some important issues arising from the latest Sanremo Festival, including the inadequacy of the Ariston Theater to host the event and the need for audience renewal. “The first hotspot is the Ariston Theatre, a vintage ‘tool’. ” Said Mazza.
Furthermore, he added:
“Certainly important to this country and what it represents. But it’s simply not enough to host an event like Sanremo. Consider that we had 30 artists participating this year. Additionally, there were 30 artists participating as guests on Friday’s cover night, which caused great security concerns. Everyone was coming to the Ariston Theatre, his 1950s gem. This festival has its own characteristics and today everything revolves around the event and the people involved in the festival, making it a difficult place to manage. ”
Enzo Mazza Logistics issues in Sanremo City during the festival were also discussed.
“Additionally, the city is in chaos. Hotels, traffic jams, the impossibility of getting artists to rehearsals. All this exploded in a year when large numbers of participants were seen outside Ariston, around the stage where the event takes place and even in front of the radio stands. But you can imagine what happens to the people who have to work there. ”
Regarding reimbursement of expenses to record companies, Enzo Mazza It pointed out:
“Regarding reimbursement of expenses to artists, the expenses will be borne by the record company. Therefore, it is not a fee to the artist. They will perform in exchange for a refund of approximately 55,000 euros to the record company. There are also additional refunds, such as Friday nights, but these are certainly paltry compared to what the record company has promised. Friday night is a show event, but not a record event.
“We are not asking the city to change, but we are asking the city to make an intervention that has been needed for 30 years.” he continued.
“For as long as I’ve been involved with this festival, there’s been talk of a new structure, but it never materialized. The city of Sanremo receives €5 million a year from Rai for the contract, but it is unclear where it will go as no renovations have been made to the city and there is no new hall for events. So where does this money go if it’s not used to make the city more attractive? This will be your first step. There were 15,000 ticket requests for just over 1,000 seats available. There will also be an audience following this event, which will attract more attention. ”
Despite the recent generational change in artists and target groups, amadeus valuable work, Enzo Mazza He pointed out that the same could not be said for the audience at the venue.
“If we also look at it from a demographic point of view, the boos at Giolier came from a crowd that was mainly made up of adults, namely the Sanremo crowd, and perhaps if there had been a younger crowd, the boos wouldn’t have come. Under the stage. Think Eurovision or The X Factor. These are innovative events and have aspects that appeal to the audience. Everyone is new here. The record industry has been revamped, the radio has been revamped, the live shows have been revamped, but the only thing that hasn’t been revamped is Sanremo Festival. ”Enzo Mazza concluded.
I don’t know yet Enzo Mazzaconcerns will be taken into account and it will be considered whether there will be any changes in the way the great festival of Italian music takes place.
