Auditorium San Domenico Hosts the Sanremo-Themed Production
The upcoming performance at Foligno’s Auditorium San Domenico arrives following a busy summer season that saw Mezzancella complete over 30 tour dates across Italy. Known nationally for his television work as a vocal coach on Rai Uno’s Wednesday prime-time program “Tale e quale show” and as a cast member on Saturday afternoon’s “Ciao Maschio,” the performer uses his Foligno engagement to showcase a production that stretches past traditional one-man show formats through rapid vocal transformations and character impressions, according to Umbria Domani.
The narrative of “Mamma ho perso Sanremo!” centers on an ambitious fictional premise. In the show, Mezzancella plays an established impersonator who still holds onto dreams of breaking through as a singer-songwriter. After receiving an unexpected video message inviting him to present an original song at the Festival of Sanremo, his path to mainstream glory is abruptly blocked by a fictional industry strike involving artists and crew members. Refusing to let the cancellation stop him, the character decides to stage his own independent version of the famous music festival.
Musical Impressions and Collaborative Production Teams
The resulting stage journey relies on audience participation as Mezzancella cycles through a gallery of prominent Italian and international music figures. The repertoire featured in the performance includes vocal impressions of Lucio Dalla, Fabio Concato, Gino Paoli, Ornella Vanoni, Biagio Antonacci, Marco Mengoni, Sal Da Vinci, and Mahmood. The production deliberately intersects with the timing of the official national event, arriving three months ahead of Stefano De Martino’s scheduled debut as the host of the Sanremo festival.
Written by Antonio Mezzancella alongside Marzio Rossi and Andrea Midena, the theatrical project is produced by Spettacoli PRO and TGC Eventi. The Foligno presentation receives formal institutional backing through patronage from the Comune di Foligno, bridging commercial entertainment with regional civic involvement.
Charitable Partnerships and Community Impact
Beyond the theatrical and musical elements, the November 22 performance incorporates a dedicated philanthropic mission. ANSA reported that all proceeds generated from ticket sales will be directed to the Donne Insieme ODV association. The funds are earmarked specifically to maintain and operate the organization’s dedicated shuttle service, which transports cancer patients to and from radiotherapy appointments at the hospitals located in Foligno and Spoleto.
