Tv Sorrisi Canzoni

This year, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, a reference point brand in the entertainment world, is once again participating in the FuoriSalone with a special meeting with an exceptional artist.

The Sorrisi initiative will be held on Sunday 23 April in the Aula Magna of the University of Milan in collaboration with the exhibition-event “Design Re-Evolution” by Interni, and will allow the public to meet one of the most appreciated singer-songwriters of the Italian music scene: Diodato.

Diodato – one of the most beloved Italian singer-songwriter and among the most awarded artists in the history of Italian music, with four studio albums – will be a guest of Aldo Vitali, director of the magazine Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni, for an unmissable encounter – through both music and words – during which the artist will be awarded with a Telegatto, the prestigious award given to the most important personalities in the entertainment world.

Diodato – who has just released his fourth album “Così speciale” – will perform with a special showcase for visitors attending the event scheduled at 18:00 (free admission subject to availability).

The Mondadori Group has announced that, following a truly unique 55-year career with Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni, Rosanna Mani has decided to turn a new page in her life and spend more time with the people dearest to her.

The publisher affectionately thanks Rosanna Mani for the great passion, inexhaustible energy and extraordinary talent with which she played a key role in the rise to success of the country’s number one show business magazine.

From her beginnings on 1 July 1968 as editor-in-chief and then co-director of the magazine for 25 years to her responsibility for all the publication’s relationships in show business, during her highly successful career Rosanna Mani became an irreplaceable contact person for all the most prominent personalities in the worlds of film, television and music, with whom she built unique relationships of esteem and friendship.

A phenomenal creator of unforgettable magazine covers and musical and television events, Rosanna Mani is responsible for the 1971 creation of the Telegatti, the “stars’ favourite award”, which has played an essential role in the history of show business in Italy.

Chiara Ferragni – alongside Amadeus and Gianni Morandi at the Festival of Sanremo – was awarded the Telegatto, the most popular recognition among artists, by Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni.

Aldo Vitali, director of the point of reference brand for all fans of the entertainment world, handed out the award to the co-host of the 73^rd edition of the Italian Song Festival “for her extraordinary first performance at the Festival of Sanremo and, in particular, for her constant involvement in causes aimed at making civil society better” stated Aldo Vitali.

Chiara Ferragni, who will return on the Ariston’s stage at the Festival’s finals, was unable to conceal her emotions upon receiving the award and said: «I dedicate this Telegatto to my family and team. To my family for various reasons, to my team because I’m here thanks to the work we do together. I’m proud of what brought us to this stage. The Telegatto is an icon, and I’m delighted to have received one… Now, I’m no longer the only one of the family not to have one.”

The Telegatto – a sustainable work of art made in the 70s by the artists of Cracking Art for Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni – was delivered by Sorrisi’s staff at the Royal Hotel of Sanremo, where its director, Aldo Vitali, satisfies all of the Festival’s fans with exclusive contents on the magazine, website and social networks.
