The traditional press conference to present Italy's popular Sanremo Song Fest was held on Wednesday, where it was announced that Italian comics Virginia Raffaele and Claudio Bisio will host the 69th edition of the fest on February 5-9, together with Italian singer-songwriter Claudio Baglioni, who is serving as artistic director of the song competition for the second consecutive year.
    "This is the 69th edition of the festival, and 69 recalls the symmetry of synchrony," Baglioni said.
    "I always look for meanings for my choices, and therefore this year will be harmony at the festival - as a result, as a landing, as a path - to bring together elements that are distant from each other," he said.
    "The 69 recalls yin and yang, the coming together of opposites, which together form an accord. That's why I wanted Brother Sun and Sister Moon, Claudio Bisio and Virginia Raffaele, next to me," he said.
    Bisio and Raffaele cracked jokes at the press conference, where Bisio, who for many years hosted the Italian TV comedy show Zelig, said the two had never worked together before.
    "We were supposed to do Zelig together, but it didn't happen.
    I was worried that she was a bit angry, but it wasn't true. We met one day at her house, she had lost her voice. Imagine for a man, an evening with a woman without a voice, it's a dream," he said jokingly.
    Raffaele, who co-hosted Sanremo in 2016, was quick with a comeback.
    "I've always looked up to him. I was young and he was already working. He's a monster. The good thing is that this year I only have to learn one name - Claudio," she said.
    "We're just at the start, and we'll begin to work now, to write really fun situations. We hope to bring colour to the festival but we will be respectful of the competition," she said.
    Baglioni said currently no international guests are scheduled.
    "Last year the rule of engagement at the festival was that even the guest would come and bring something, and not just take. I'm still waiting for proposals, but at the moment there aren't any. The festival is international on its own," he said.
    He said guests would include Andrea Bocelli and son, Giorgia, and Elisa.
