Singer-songwriter Claudio Baglioni
has agreed to be the presenter and artistic director of Italy's
popular Sanremo Song Fest in 2019 for the second consecutive
year, the director general of State broadcaster RAI, Mario
Orfeo, announced on Wednesday.
Orfeo said he was "very happy" that Baglioni has agreed to
present the 69th edition of the song fest after long
negotiations he described as a "real courtship".
"It is a great honor as well as a reason to be proud for all
of RAI to have succeeded in convincing a great musician and
composer like Baglioni" to be part of the event for a second
time, he added.
