24 "big", of which a maximum of 4 are worthy of the name; a competition that becomes a backdrop to the monologues and dances and not the other way around; 9 women (too many), of whom 2 are worthy of stepping on that stage (the names? Emma D'Aquino and Antonella Clerici). Guests taking up too much space (Ferro, Fiorello, Benigni). NO INTERNATIONAL GUESTS! The most international was Zucchero! Songs of relatively low quality, both compared to previous editions and to music outside of Sanremo in the last 20 years. In short, a transitional edition. It was the 70th edition, it should have been a celebration of the past, of great names, instead it turned into a festival of boredom, controversy, and bad taste. The only positive aspect is learning from the mistakes of this festival so we can try again, perhaps still with Amadeus, who I personally did not mind, next year, but reducing the quantity in favor of quality.
