It's from this morning official news of the interruption of the working relationship between the Rai and Amadeus, the beloved presenter and artistic director of the last five editions of the Sanremo Festival. As had already been rumored in recent days, the host would met the general director Giampaolo Rossi and made official what until now, although well founded, had in any case only been indiscretions.

Amadeus has a contract that binds him to Rai until August and obviously he will respect it, but when it expires, as he himself explains in the video message posted a little while ago on his account Instagramwill be “time for new professional and personal challenges.”

A “new dream” which will see him play an important role, even if not yet made official, at the service of the broadcaster Discovery which is the owner of the Channel Nine.

Amadeus explained that for him to work in Rai it was a source of pride, responsibility and great pleasure. She then wanted to publicly thank all managers who he has met over the years, for the trust they have always placed in him and for the important efforts they have made on this occasion too try to hold him back.

The host then underlines a very important issue for him:

It was not an easy choice for me also in consideration of the important efforts made by Rai to retain me, and without my having ever made any request to favor my family members or to exclude my past collaborators, despite what was circulated on the press in the last few days. It's not my style.

For 'Ama', finally, it is impossible not to dedicate a thought and words of enormous affection towards those who have always loved and supported him, even begged to stay, i viewerswith whom he gives an appointment as always on TV.
