Beppe Vessicchio: “Amadeus in Rai had a lot of pressure”
Beppe Vessicchio confirms that Amadeus in Rai was subjected to numerous pressures and says he is available to follow the host on the Nine if an offer comes his way.
Interviewed by Corriere della Sera, the maestro says he is available to follow Amadeus on the Nine: “I always say yes because he is a person I respect. Then of course it depends on the contents. Now I have my goals on the world of music in general, on the relationship between music and biology, on the Mozart effect in wine, grappa or milk and I'm happy about it. We see”.
Vessicchio has a precise idea of why the presenter decided to move to Discovery: “Rai has become the place where the internal government is subjected to so much pressure, the artist has an identity and his own sensitivity. I don't know what a man who was Rai can do with well-identified formats. Will he take them with him or create new ones? It will be interesting to understand.”
“The difficulty in working at Rai is the power you can have in such a complex structure. Amadeus at Nove will ask for guarantees of autonomy, following in the wake of those who left Rai for a different network”.
Having this freedom in Rai “is complicated because the structures that govern it are powerful: network directors, deputy directors, programming managers, the structure leaders belong to an already consolidated network that will tend to pull the strings on their own side. Amadeus has done well in recent years because he understood that he had to centralize everything and take responsibility for everything.”
Vessicchio then comments on the five Sanremo Festivals successfully conducted by Amadeus: “Amadeus demonstrated its abilities when it took over the Sanremo Festival, let's remember that during Covid it did it without an audience at the Ariston. He has shown an ability to manage the festival phenomenon without prosecution. He never repeated himself, he had the courage to follow his own direction. He seemed too unbalanced to current music and less attentive to tradition but I think he also denied my observations between the covers evening on Friday and the relaunch by the young people”.
