And Lorella is moved. Amadeus manages to make a tear fall on Cuccarini’s face when he mentions her mother, who passed away. Mother Maria who was a seamstress and who sewed her clothes for her daughter and for her daughter’s dolls. «It was very cool to be dressed like your dolls» confesses Lorella. And Amadeus announces a surprise for her. He brings her a box where there is a Barbie-like doll wearing the identical dress to the one Lorella is wearing on stage, (very chic long black dress, collected hair, and pearl necklace) made by the Rai seamstresses. And her eyes become shiny. He confesses that he always thinks of her mother with the sewing machine. But it is the only “melancholic” moment. For the rest, Lorella was a volcano of joy.
Last year Lorella Cuccarini amazed Ariston and all viewers with her singing and dancing of «La notte vola» where she showed the energy and energy of a 30 year old despite her 58 years. This year Amadeus wanted her alongside her as co-host in the duets evening. And she – now an experienced television woman – does not disappoint. She doesn’t enter from the stairs, but she is outside the theater singing and dancing in musical style. She arrives in the foyer, she enters the room to the tune of «Grease», then onto the stage with her evergreen her «The night flies». She then duets with Fiorello (disguised as the dancer Manuel) and Amadeus on the notes of «Sugar sugar». She greets Pippo Baudo and prepares for the big descent of the stairs.
