Unlike the others, in this event, they decided to put two stairswhich seem to be less steep than what used to be a single staircase and which was now a real one for everyone symbol.
Many thought that in reality they decided to remove it, because perhaps too many falls had occurred. Like for example that of Lorella Cuccariniduring the rehearsals for Sanremo 2023.

However, the reason behind this choice is different and very specific. It's really about them shots of the competing singers and also of the presenters and guests, who are going up on that stage in these days.

It's his own thing to give an explanation Gaetano Castellithe man who for years, together with his daughter Maria Chiara, takes care of the scenography of the Sanremo Festival. On this aspect you said:
The ladder? If it were up to me I would never have worn it. Because removing it means having a clean scenography, otherwise in every shot of the singers, who are always shot from the waist up, you can see the lines behind.
This edition has a scenography with particularly soft and enveloping lines. It is based on a series of curves, to make the viewer enter a sort of magical vault. The lights are incorporated into the project and there are no LED walls. In reality, it's a battle I'm fighting to eliminate LED walls: they finally don't exist here. This ensures that when the stage is poorly lit, the spotlights are turned on to surround the scenographic design, which however remains visible.
