Overview
- The 76th Festival runs February 24–28 at the Ariston and marks Conti’s fifth stint as director-presenter.
- A different additional co-host will join Conti and Pausini each night, with room for a more visible comic presence on select evenings.
- Conti defends the 30-artist field and says the songs span country, rock, pure rap, Latin rhythms, pop, and a classical-style piece without a chorus.
- He cautions that TV share could slip a few points due to Canale 5’s La ruota della fortuna and calls a small dip acceptable.
- International guests remain unannounced, with late additions possible and reported talks about Tiziano Ferro unconfirmed.
