Sanremo (Imperia), 16 Feb (LaPresse) – ‘It was beautiful to read in our eyes that special emotion you feel when you are one step away from victory. I'm very happy with this fifth place because, despite not having millions of followers, I managed to reach the hearts of Italians with this song’. This is what Simone Cristicchi told LaPresse, on the sidelines of the Sanremo Festival closing press conference.
