February 04, 2020 "Good evening brothers, good evening sisters, welcome to this Sanremo festival. There is a need for peace". The Sanremo 2020 Festival opens with the 'blessing' of Fiorello, who enters the audience dressed as a priest.

'Don' Rosario Fiorello kicks off the 70th edition of the festival by inviting everyone to "exchange peace, peace is not blasphemous, join hands with each other, even in the press room", he says entering the scene from the stalls of the Ariston.

"This 2020 started with four misfortunes: Australia caught fire, we survived an almost third world war, the virus, Sanremo! But the number one danger is here."

Then he turns to the "Holy Father: do not cancel the Rai canon, do not be angry, mine is a stage suit ...".

Then he turns to Rai1 director Stefano Coletta in the front row: "It is not a 15% risk festival. This is the original dress of Don Matteo, one of the few Matteo who work in Italy, alone makes 35%, with I'll get there in 40 ", laughs Fiorello.

Then he returns to the controversies that preceded the festival: "Amadeus went against everyone. The women, politics, the right, the left. There was the escape of the guests: Salmo, Jovanotti, Bellucci, who fled even if they were not voters of the Cinquestelle. Then someone had to help him, go to his rescue. The Sardines are busy, I have arrived. I will be by his side, I will give him some advice, I will be his Rocco Casalino ", alluding to the spokesman for Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

And then: "If it works, this is clothing stuff, tomorrow I dress at Maria de Filippi" and calls Amadeus on stage, intoning the Alleluja with the audience.

In the first exchange on the stage of the Ariston with his friend Amadeus , Fiorello ironizes about the risks that the conductor and artistic director runs: "These are the moments that precede the end of your career: the Soliti Ignoti raise you as well. the mysterious relative? That you do. People cancel the selfies with you. You don't have to think about the cast, those who are here, but those you left at home. The Festivalbar was better. Remember: in Sanremo you enter pope and let's go out Papeete ", concludes quoting the disco that last summer was a privileged stage for Matteo Salvini.
