A very beautiful and technological set has been designed by Francesca Montinaro on the stage of the 63rd edition of the Sanremo Festival.

Francesca Montinaro, the first female designer in the history of the contest, declared to the press that she wanted to bring back on the stage the iconic symbol of the Festival, the staircase, but, at the same time, to hide it and think to it in a different way, as an anthropomorphic depiction of the movements of the hand.

Look at the pictures of this gorgeous and innovative masterpiece.
