In the end, perhaps, to reach twenty thousand it was necessary to also count those who were wandering around in the portions of the Fair open to the public but distant from the mega stage. But, in the end, to the diatribes on numbers everyone preferred to toast to 2024 with Marco Mengoni in Cagliari: around 17 thousand people filled the mega square. The only inconveniences? The long queues especially between 10pm and 11pm for those who had to enter from the via Pessagno side and the few chemical toilets available outside the various pavilions. For the rest, after the performance of various DJs and the surprise greeting from Leonardo Pavoletti (HERE the news) at a quarter to midnight he, the winner of the latest Sanremo festival, came on. From “Guerriero” to “Muhammad Alì”, without obviously forgetting his latest success, “Due Vite”: in the crowd many families with children and even fifty and sixty year olds. Mengoni’s main fans? It’s obvious to say it but it was also like this in Cagliari, the women. Some missed New Year’s Eve in the square, but the wait for the singer’s show had the effect of an adrenaline rush to bear the fact of being at the Fair and not in the centre.
“Ajò Cagliari,” said Mengoni after the first song. “I want next year to be more beautiful”, then less than a minute before the stroke of January 1, 2024 he asked for the public’s help in counting down. No toasts, glass bottles were prohibited, but lots of hugs and selfies, with fireworks that lit up the sky above Cagliari from the Sant’Elia area to the port area for at least ten minutes. Then, all the other songs by Marco Mengoni: “Finally we’re back to doing a concert in Sardinia, I’m very happy”, he said from the stage. And so were the thousands and thousands of Sardinians, but also some tourists, who chose to say goodbye to 2023 forever at the Fair.
