It's official. Amadeus leaves Rai. He gave the news. Amadeus will not renew its contract, which expires on August 31, with Rain.
According to rumors in recent weeks, the Warner Bros group is waiting for him, ready to hire him to make him the head of the Nove channel.
Reasons for leaving
In its negotiations with Rai, Amadeus would have expressed the desire to create its own company with which it would produce formats to sell to television stations, as Fabio Fazio had done. A request that Viale Mazzini could not accept due to the change in regulation, which no longer allows producers to be presenters at the same time. In addition, Amadeus requested a program for his wife Giovanna Civitillo and the departure of his former manager Lucio Presta, husband of Paola Perego, who manages several artists including Roberto Benigni, Gianni Morandi, Paolo Bonolis, Barbara d 'Urso, Simona Ventura and Antonella Clerici. The two had recently broken up, but the reason was never clarified.
Who will present Sanremo? It is said that the successor will be Carlo Conti, who presented as a guest on the third night of the last festival.
