Sanremo 2026, Sal Da Vinci wins.

From the tight circle of favorites, Sal Da Vinci wins over Sayf, followed by Ditonellapiaga, Arisa, Fedez, and Masini

Here we are, with an atmosphere that rightly reflects the increasingly relevant war conflicts, here is the final of the Ariston and the 30 big names in competition with the perfect array of guests and surprises, which obviously tonight have no courage to be absent. Starting with the unprecedented triumvirate of presenters, who, in addition to Carlo Conti and Laura Pausini, features a very fresh Giorgia Cardinaletti, passionately joined by a graying Nino Frassica, a wild card. Francesco Renga is the first to kick off the magical 30, with Bocelli performing as a super guest, showcasing his usual and undeniable talent, before the Pooh perform outside, celebrating their 1990 victory and sixty years of career, while time flies. But halfway through the competition, which is already late at night, the big news arrives, with Carlo Conti officially announcing the new presenter, as well as artistic director, of the next edition of the Festival, Stefano De Martino, approved with a standing ovation from the audience. It’s time for Max Pezzali from the usual ship for his famous hits, perhaps a bit too subdued, the serious reflection on the tragic phenomenon of femicides with the testimony of Giulio Cecchettin, and finally for the final rush, where the votes, in all their forms, rev up to decide the fate of the 76th Festival of Italian song. This event, like this year, has reserved much emphasis for characters, stories, and various humanity that have overlapped with the songs, but perhaps this is another story. The narrative certainly emerging from the lyrics this year has an absolute center, represented by love, mothers, and family. Almost a univocal message in this time of war. Even when the hour strikes, the final judgment that silences everything arrives. Sal Da Vinci wins, and it was in the air, over the young surprise Sayf, who outperformed Ditonellapiaga, Arisa, and the duo Fedez Masini. That’s all from Sanremo.
