What remains of five hours of Festival, without the songs

I made an account. Fourteen songs take, listening to them in a row, just over three quarters of an hour. The single Sanremo evening is close to five hours. Music is at the centre, the artistic director guarantees: what is the rest, then? It is a show, of course, which ranges from monologues to guests, from side performances to interludes, from reunions to anniversaries and goes up to the President of the Republic, but in scientific terms, if I may say so, what is it about? Of junk DNA. Let me explain right away: I don’t want to be misunderstood as just any Salvini, who doesn’t like one and who rightly receives an invitation from Amadeus to drop the Festival, if he really doesn’t like it (what a surprise: Salvini in the radical chic role of those who disdain Sanremo!). Junk DNA is serious stuff. Initially it was known only that there is a whole part of the human genome that is not used to “manufacture” proteins (the building material of life, as they say at school). It was therefore thought that it was useless: that it was, in fact, rubbish. With some embarrassment, however, given that it represents almost 99 percent of the human genome.
