For Prime time Entertainment Director Williams Di Liberatore, 'we are talking about a Festival that is confirmed to be in excellent health. Last night's Auditel data shows a Sanremo that is growing in share and is the fourth best result since 1995. The growth on digital was very important, while the event on the ground was sold out at the Suzuki Stage. In the light of this we can say we are very satisfied".
