In Italy there are two important music festivals: the Sanremo’s festival, in winter, and the Festivalbar, in summer. The Sanremo’s festival is a great show in Italy. It’s a competition between Italian singers and it lasts five days. There are two singers’ categories: “Big” (famous singers) and “New proposals” (young singers that want to become famous). The festival takes place in the Ariston theatre. The set usually is full of colours and flowers, actually Sanremo is a sunny city called “The city of flowers”. One showman and some girls present the show. The girls always have on beautiful elegant dresses made by Italian stylists. The most famous Sanremo’s showman is Pippo Baudo. Every year important international guest stars come to Sanremo (this year, for example, there were Take That and Penelope Cruz). The all-time best Sanremo’s song is “Nel blu dipinto di blu”, sung by Domenico Modugno in 1958. Do you know it? It sings: “Volare ooh, cantare oooh…”. Anothers popular Sanremo’s singers are: Laura Pausini, Zucchero, Andrea Bocelli, Eros Ramazzotti, Al Bano and Elisa.

"Festivalbar" is a summer music festival. It's followed mainly by young people differently from S.Remo's Festival that is addressed to older people. It lasts all summer long with a show every two weeks. Every show is broadcasted from a different Italian place. It started in 1964 but until 1968 it was only a prizegiving, were only the most popular juke-box's songs were rewarded. It's presented by young presenters, which are also often comedians, helped by young nice girls. The singers are Italian and international but only the most famous ones among the last year's stars like Justine Timberlake, Madonna, Robbie Williams, REM, Laura Pausini etc...The finals are always set in Verona's Arena in a stunning atmosphere!!

When we talk about Italian singers, necessarily we must talk about Pavarotti. Many are the anecdotes him and I want to tell one to you. Some years ago Pavarotti had not been accepted in a hotel of Padua. The versions on the fact are three: 1. Pavarotti didn’t appreciate the menu of the breakfast because it was too poor. 2. The doors of the hotel were too small for Big Luciano 3. Pavarotti didn’t have with him the identity card. Which is the true version in your opinion?
