Amadeus confirms he won't do Sanremo again next year

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 11 - Sanremo Song Festival Presenter and Artistic Director Amadeus reiterated on Sunday that he will not be back next year after his fifth stint in charge of the much-loved event was a success.
    Amadeus had already said as much but on Sunday State broadcaster Rai's CEO Roberto Sergio said he would talk about him continuing at the festival along with comedian Fiorelllo in a couple of weeks.
    "Some will remember that back in May I said this would be my last festival, but no one believed it," Amadeus told he post-festival press conference.
    "I really feel that I have to stop.
    "I am grateful that there is a desire for us to continue, but I feel that we must stop and focus on other things.
    "This does not mean that I'm going to be a hermit.
    "But I need to find other ideas, other challenges". (ANSA).
