Overview
- Lauro delivered 'Perdutamente' on a darkened Ariston stage with soprano Valentina Gargano and a 20‑member choir in a televised homage.
- Carlo Conti said the decision replaced Lauro’s originally planned number after the funeral footage prompted a change in programming.
- Many in the Sanremo audience were moved to tears during the performance, which was presented without added commentary.
- Lauro said he hoped the music comforted families, adding that if it helped even one person, performing it was a duty.
- The tribute followed the New Year’s fire at Le Constellation in Crans‑Montana that left 41 dead and many injured, including six Italians, and came after Erica Didone sang the song at the funeral of her 16‑year‑old son, Achille Barosi.
