De Filippi is to co-host the Sanremo Song Festival.
De Filippi appeared Wednesday for a press conference
alongside host Carlo Conti who quipped "she's evidently thought
better of it".
Conti said De Filippi would "work for free".
Among the acts Conti announced were Tiziano Ferro, Giorgia,
Mika, Ricky Martin and Rag'n'Bone Man with their hit Human.
This year's song fest, one of the major Italian TV events of
