Carlo Conti: from love with Francesca to the memory of his mother. "Sanremo? Songs are already arriving"

From his love for his family to his friendship with the late host Fabrizio Frizzi . Carlo Conti opens up in an intimate interview with Mara Venier.

During the interview, where he retraced some of the best moments of his career such as the last Sanremo Festival 2025, the host became emotional, barely managing to hold back the tears.

Carlo Conti at the beginning of his career had declared that he did not want to get married. An idea that changed when he met Francesca Vaccaro, his wife since 2012 and mother of his son Matteo: "Antonella (Clerici, ed.) was an important link, she pushed me to marry Francesca". "The Carlo Conti of television is the same one who goes shopping at the supermarket, there is no pedestal in my family . I chose, also for this reason, to live in Florence despite the daily commitments with the hosting".

Fabrizio Frizzi's death, which occurred on March 26, 2018, opened his eyes to the importance of family: "You have to live life because you never know what can happen to you tomorrow, I understood that you have to dedicate more time to the little things and the really important things". A solid bond between the two presenters: "Having seen Fabrizio's life cut short at such a beautiful moment in his life, he had become a father for a few years, makes certain decisions accelerate and pushed me to make the decision to move to Florence".

And on the video message from Pope Francis : "Something I would never have imagined, I will never forget it . Two years ago, I had attended the great evening for World Children's Day at the Olympic Stadium with Pope Francis. Then, in a private audience, he told us 'if one day I can do something for you, tell me'", recalled Carlo Conti who sent a letter to the Pontiff in which he asked for a video message to be broadcast live at the singing festival "I didn't tell anyone, I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone ", revealed Carlo Conti.
