New catchphrases will become part of our lives and will remain there at least until next summer.
Even the professional lives of several young singers competing could take a definitive turn after the Sanremo experience.
The Sanremo festival is now experienced in a totally different way compared to when the event saw its birth.
Sanremo is by far one of the most commented events on social media, in particular on X (formerly Twitter).
The entire communication, during the hours of the festival, is monopolized by millions of people who comment on what happens on stage expressing opinions on the songs sung by the competing artists.
