re-elected under the honors at the transalpine state end of January, Sergio Mattella has been the subject of almost consensus in the country, particularly because of its way of embodiment, Analysis Jerome GautHeret, correspondent of the “world” in Rome.

Analysis. The San Remo Festival is one of the most unfathomable mysteries for those who are trying to plunge into Italian culture. Few moments (apart from a European championship or World Cup Football Final) have this power to weld a people around the same show, and the closing party, Saturday, February 5, did not derogate from the rule, bringing together more than 13 million viewers.
Two days earlier, the retransmission had started unusually when the inamovable presenter, Amadeus, wanted to salute President Sergio Mattella, re-elected on January 29, for a second seven, before launching the show. “I would like to wish you a good job, and express the affection and gratitude we all experience towards you,” he launched, before dedicating him a song, under the vivaties of the public.

Democrat-Christian always, entered politics to the death of his brother, Piersanti, killed in 1980 in the streets of Palermo by the Mafia, he has been responsible for, since 2015, with the FLEGME and the necessary gravity.
