Blanco – born Riccardo Fabbriconi – was entered in the register of suspects by the Prosecutor of Imperia on charges of damage, for the unscheduled event that occurred on the first evening of the 73rd Sanremo festival, when he kicked the "rose garden" set up on the stage of the Ariston on 8 February. By script, he should have rolled around in the flowers.
The singer - winner of the 2022 edition of the Festival together with Mahmood with the song "Brividi" - had been invited to present the new single "L'Isole delle rose". At one point in the performance, she had begun to go into a tantrum, kicking the flower arrangement . “I couldn't hear in the headphones, I couldn't sing. But at least I had fun, music is also this», explained the artist to justify himself.
At the end of the performance Amadeus invited Blanco to sing his song again during the evening, but in the end the musician never performed again. He later apologized for the gesture with a post published on Instagram.
The crime of damage is punished with a sentence of up to three years.
