TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, the leading brand in the entertainment world, launches “The Sanremo Podcast”, the first event podcast in four episodes dedicated to the history of the Sanremo Festival.
Together with the big names of Italian music, the podcast will relive the highlights of the Festival to better prepare for the new edition of Italy’s most famous singing competition.

Presented by Aldo Vitali, director of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, together with Lodovica Comello – TV presenter and radio speaker – and actor and content creator Tommaso Cassissa, the first podcast of Sorrisi will accompany listeners for four weeks through the history of the Italian Song Festival from the 1950s to the present day. Together they will discuss the pop moments that marked the event, analyzing its secrets and revealing some exclusive behind-the-scenes stories. Each episode, released on Tuesdays, will feature a special guest who has left an indelible stamp on the Italian music scene and will cover a historical time span of the Festival.

The star of the first episode, dedicated to the period from the inception of the Festival to the 1980s, is Rettore, an iconic artist on the Italian scene. She will share her memories associated with the Festival, recalling how she initially did not want to participate in her very first Sanremo and discussing her bombshell debut that was never broadcast on TV, her relationship, amid love and strife, with Marcella Bella (competing this year), and her affection for TV Sorrisi e Canzoni to which she presented her new album “Antidiva Putiferio” due out on January 10, 2025.

The podcast will include entertaining quizzes and untold behind-the-scenes trivia, guaranteeing fun moments and plenty of memories to arrive well prepared for the new edition of the Italian Song Festival.
