this is the reason for the “skullcap” and the greeting to Aunt Mara
With a huge success with audiences from all over Italy it is no wonder that someone has decided to make the Sanremo Festival even more engaging, with a game that allows you to focus on artists. The idea of the Fanta Sanremo was born in 2019 from a group of boys from the Marche in the “Bar Corva da Papalina“of Porto Sant’Elpidio, has exploded over the past 3 years, leading more than 300 thousand players to register on the official website.
Here’s how it works. Each player has a disposition one hundred “baudi”the official currency of the game created in the historic presenter gift Pippo Baudo, with which to create your own team. Before the festival started it was possible to buy (figuratively, since the game is completely free) five artists for their team, with high or low prices based on talent, experience and a tendency to dare show. To give an example singers come Mahmood and Blanco or Achille Lauro a value higher than 30 Baudi, while the new generation like Yuman or Matteo Romano they had a value of 14. Each player therefore had to study a team with a mix of talents with available coins.
But how do players earn points? I see it a regulation. The placement in the standings counts, in which you go from 50 points for the first classified to 5 for the 13th, but bonuses are also provided for the most disparate reasons, such asdress monochrome or with floral pattern, the ovationthanks to the orchestra, if the presentation is by a guest or by a co-host, if the artist is the first or the last to perform.
To amuse the players, however, are the points awarded for the most abstruse reasons. For example, 50 points are awarded if the word “skullcap“, in homage to the bar where the contest was born, 25 if you say the word”Fanta Sanremo“on the stage of the Ariston or 20 if you say goodbye to the”aunt Mara“, how did he do AKA 7even in front of a bewildered Amadeus.
Some points may be awarded for more absurd reasons, such as if the performer performs during the performance push upsundergoes “invasions of the field” or even if defecates on stage. There are also giveaways to athletes with the “Tamberi bonus“, if the artist jumps more than 2.37 meters or the”Bonus Jacobs“if a singer runs 100 meters on stage in less than 9.80 seconds. Points are also awarded for death of the artist or in case he is chased by the police. The regulation also provides for “bad“that make you lose points, as if the singers or songs are presented with the wrong name, the use of theauto tuningif anyone stumbles on stage, it turns out positive for Covid-19 or get disqualified.
At the moment, after the second evening, to rule the ranking is AKA 7evenfor the thanks to the audience and orchestra, the floral patterned outfit, the greetings to “aunt”, “skullcap” and “FantaSanremo” said on stage, while Yuman is last with 15 points due to the Monochromatic outfit only and to the presentation of the co-host.
With the contest the spectators, who also have the opportunity to get organized as a team and compare their respective rankings, they have a a whole new way to enjoy the festival. There is nothing at stake, if not there satisfaction to see your team triumph. Even the artists themselves, including the “veterans” come Gianni Morandi, have shown that they appreciate the competition and do not want to look bad in the standings. Surprises will certainly not be lacking in the early evenings, the Fantaremo is only at the beginning of Sanremo.
