Italy, where was your live orchestra? (Eurovision 2022)

Italy, where was your live orchestra in Turin?
When the Eurovision Song Contest was created in 1956 it was directly inspired by the Italian Sanremo festival. The live orchestra was removed from Eurovision in 1999, but at Sanremo it's naturally still present.

We had high hopes that Italy and RAI would re-introduce the live orchestra for the ESC in Turin.
The Italians are very proud of their orchestras and live music traditions. Almost every Italian TV-show includes some kind of live orchestra or live band. The Sanremo orchestra has an extended rythm-section including synths, drum machines etc. to make sure it can accompany all kinds of music.

Unfortunately the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) keeps insisting that live music is not part
of their concept and branding. They prefer to focus on the visual parts of the show.
To be fair the EBU and RAI deserves praise for presenting a impressive and advanced visual show.
But could it still be called a music event?

This video with clips from the Sanremo festival proves that live music in the Eurovision Song Contest could be possible in our time. It's a matter of priority.
