About
The Mike Bongiorno statue in Sanremo is a bronze tribute to one of Italy’s most beloved television presenters. Erected on 15 February 2013, it marks the day the famous host, who hosted the Festival di Sanremo from 1963 to 1997, was ceremonially honored with a bronze likeness that raises his arm in his iconic “Allegria!” salute. The sculpture sits just a stone’s throw from Teatro Ariston, between Corso Matteotti and Via Escoffier, making it a convenient stop for visitors exploring the historic seafront. The statue not only celebrates a media pioneer but also serves as a cultural landmark that reflects the enduring legacy of the Festival di Sanremo and the broader Italian entertainment scene.
