Overview

  • The camera ardente at Teatro Delle Vittorie reopened Tuesday morning for a final viewing until noon, with lines reaching Viale Mazzini after roughly 8,000 visitors the previous day.
  • RAI and the Baudo family organized the tribute, with his daughter Tiziana greeting mourners alongside close collaborators.
  • High-profile visitors included Piero Chiambretti, Michele Placido, Ambra Angiolini, Giorgio Panariello and Marco Masini, who shared personal recollections of Baudo’s influence and generosity.
  • Amadeus endorsed dedicating the theater to Baudo and recalled detailed pre‑Sanremo guidance he says he treated as “commandments.”
  • Heather Parisi posted an unpublished 2008 video in which Baudo reflected on legacy and said he wished to be “reborn a butterfly.”
