During the 72nd Sanremo Music Festival, which will take place from February 1 to 5, 2022, a collective known as TeamLara has been established by a diverse group of gallerists, artists, journalists, critics, and museum directors. This initiative is organized by the press office of Lara Facco and features artists such as Achille Lauro, Gianni Morandi, Iva Zanicchi, and La Rappresentante di Lista, led by Ditonellapiaga alongside Donatella Rettore. Over 40 selectors from Italy's art scene are involved. Participants in FantaSanremo can assemble virtual artist teams with a budget of 100 'baudi,' with Mahmood and Blanco being the priciest at 35 baudi. Points are earned through performances, while mistakes incur penalties, determining the winning team by the highest score.
