IL SANREMO SEEN BY MATILDE, second episode – “Duet with Elisa would be a dream”
Matilde, what was the experience of Sanremo?
A wonderful experience and I absolutely can’t wait to be able to repeat it, doing even more insights.
He will have lived through so many. But the best moment?
I would say the cover night and the final, because we cheered on our favorites. I liked decreeing the winner of the Teenage Jury, but also seeing the Ariston illuminated and dreaming at the same time.
The ranking of the Teenagers Guria also rewarded Mahmood and Blanco. What struck you about this song?
The text, which was very nice. But also the fact that these two artists are very young and make current music. Hearing them together was very interesting.
Were you able to get your voice to Amadeus?
Yup! And we will also be able to deliver the Teen Jury Prize.
His favorite is why?
I list it due. Elisa and Gianni Morandi. Morandi for the lyrics and the song that is loaded, Elisa because she was fantastic and crazy. But Mahmood and Blanco were also very good.
What will be the catchphrase?
For this summer I see Dargen D’Amico’s “Dove si balla” and “Ciao Ciao” from “The list representative”. But “Chills” will also be heard on the radio.
An adjective for Mahmood & Blanco?
Narcotic. They surprised me a lot.
Elisa?
Goddess. It was flawless.
Morandi?
Energetic and of course without a doubt. He is a fantastic man.
How to define this Festival and why?
Fresco and very young. A Festival for everyone. There was music for all tastes. It was also quite fluent, with current topics.
But in Sanremo she was also among the finalists of the Sanremo Newtalent Winter 2022 …
I finished in second place and by one point I lost to a very good 37-year-old tenor. I sang “As the world caves in” by Matt Maltese, a pop-folk song adapted with the piano.
From Sanremo to Forlì. What will you bring in the suitcase of memories?
The beautiful people I met on this trip. Pictures with some celebrities and the interview with Irama.
Upcoming engagements?
On February 14, they are among the 60 Eurovision semifinalists to represent San Marino. And other artists such as Achille Lauro will also participate. From Forlì there will be the brothers Elena and Francesco Faggi. It will therefore be an intense race, but I am happy with the experience I have had. It is already a lot, since I am 16 years old. Then together with CosaScuola, Luca Medri and Maestro Marco Sabiu we are carrying out the project “A music factory”, which involves the search for musicians, singers-actors, lovers of writing-communication, who will participate for free in the training.
His dream?
Continue with the music and my project. I hope that my music and my voice will arrive on prestigious stages like that of Sanremo.
