Overview
- Carlo Conti announced on TG1 that Pausini accepted the role, confirming her presence across the festival’s five evenings from 24 to 28 February.
- Pausini will both present and sing on the Ariston stage, with Conti joking he won her over by “singing La solitudine under her window for 30 days.”
- Additional co-hosts will alternate each night alongside the lead duo, with further names to be revealed in the coming weeks.
- The appointment marks a return to the stage that launched her career, following her 1993 win with “La solitudine,” third place in 1994, and multiple super-guest appearances.
- Ahead of Sanremo, Pausini is slated for the Milano-Cortina Olympics opening ceremony on 6 February and will release the album Io canto 2 the same day.
