Originally created by Italian puppet artist Maria Perego in 1959, Topo Gigio has more recently been reimagined as a pre-school cartoon comedy series co-produced by Movimenti Production (a Banijay Kids & Family company) and Topo Gigio S.r.l.. Earlier February 14th, Topo Gigio in the classic puppet form, joined Lucio Corsi for a performance of “Nel blu, dipinto di blu” at the 2025 Sanremo Music Festival, reaching the second place during the evening dedicated to covers and duets.
