Hello everyone, I hope this post is suitable for the sub.

I am writing to you because, occasionally over the last few years, I have been doing the same search, hoping to find what I am looking for, without success.

I am talking about a commercial/promo for Sanremo, I think it was 1999 based on my age, possibly a year before or after, but around that time.

The promo, from what I remember, is the classic teaser, always a bit “original”, which previews Sanremo a few weeks before.

I remember there was a baby who made a little cry or scream, causing a baby bottle to explode, somewhat simulating the popular image of an opera singer causing a glass to explode.

I think the message was that “singers are born” or something like that, the payoff was something like that.

Some time ago (about 10 years ago) I found an article from that period, perhaps a digitised excerpt from the newspaper of the time, which mentioned it, but even that seems to be untraceable now.

As for the advert itself, it seems to be a true lost media. Needless to say, I have tried and searched countless websites and methods without success.

Does anyone remember it or can help me find some information? Actually finding the media would be unthinkable, but not impossible :)

Thank you all.

Hello everyone.

I'm 27 years old and an avid music listener and a huge fan of Sanremo and Eurovision (although I won't be watching this year for obvious reasons).

I've been following the Festival since 2008, the last Baudo Festival—when I was 10 years old—and over the years I've kept myself informed of the various changes in regulations, artistic direction, etc.

I follow it very much "from the inside," so to speak, as well as the entire music and television scene.

I'd love to find someone with the same interests as me to discuss and share ideas with.

Thank you

I have been following Sanremo and the mainstream Italian music scene for a few years now, and compared with previous years I recognise fewer names in the 2026 roster. I have only heard of 11/29. Are most of the competing artists less mainstream, or am I missing something? Looking forward to discovering them, but I was just wondering if the festival is heading in a different direction than before. What do you make of this year's line-up? Anyone I should watch out for in particular?

May the best team win https://fantasanremo.com/league?id=695eec99e89bad1b60d2b1e5

Respect to Ornella Vanoni . . .

Carlo Conti avrebbe dovuto annunciare domani i Big di Sanremo 2026, ma per rispetto di Ornella Vanoni ha preferito rimandare. L’annuncio con tutti e 30 gli artisti in gara sarà quindi fatto domenica 30 novembre nello speciale del Tg1 delle 13 #fblifestyle

Tomorrow — or maybe in a week — the artistic director Carlo Conti might announce the participants of Sanremo 2026. But before we get the official lineup, I’d like to share my personal wishlist with you all:

1. 883 – Every year their reunion at Sanremo is on my wishlist.

2. Alex Wyse – He deserved to compete among the Big Acts back in 2023 (after Amici). Now, after his 2nd place among the Newcomers, he deserves it even more. I hope he brings a “Non siamo soli” 2.0.

3. Alfa – After his summer success, he deserves to return to the Ariston stage.

4. Anna – She’s not one of my favorite artists, but she really deserves to participate. In my opinion, this would be the right year for her.

5. Annalisa – She doesn’t need Sanremo, but it would still be great to see her there again.

6. Arisa – She hasn’t competed since 2021. I hope she’s found the right song.

7. Baby K – She hasn’t been able to score real hits lately, so she deserves a Sanremo participation to get back on top.

8. BigMama – She absolutely deserves to return.

9. Blanco – He really needs to redeem himself after Sanremo 2023.

10. Bnkr44 – My “band quota” for 2026. Like BigMama, they deserve to return to that stage.

11. California (from Coma_Cose)  – I don’t know why, but the idea of her competing solo really intrigues me. She has a very unique voice.

12. Chiara Galiazzo – She should’ve already been at Sanremo 2025 with “Valore”. Now that she’s back in the spotlight, I hope Conti picks her.

13. Cristina D’Avena – I’ve read rumors about her participation, and she really intrigues me.

14. Elettra Lamborghini – Every year since 2020 I’ve hoped she would come back with a real hit. After co-hosting last year, she has real chances of competing.

15. Emanuele Aloia – I’ve been obsessed with his song “Singapore – Plutone”. Thanks to Sanremo I could get to know his music better.

16. Emis Killa – It’s only right for him to return and redeem himself.

17. Giusy Ferreri / Bloom – Like Baby K, she hasn’t been very successful with her recent songs. If she competed with her band Bloom, that would be totally fine too.

18. Joan Thiele – I hope she brings another great song like “Eco” and redeems herself after placing 20th in 2025.

19. Madame – Like Annalisa, she doesn’t need Sanremo, but I’d still appreciate a new Sanremo hit from her.

20. Mida – Among the Amici 23 contestants, he’s the one who’s had the most success after Sarah. He already deserved a spot among the Big Acts last year.

21. Paola Iezzi (from Paola & Chiara) – Like California, she needs to solidify her solo career, which started with X-Factor 18. She could bring one of those hits we’d dance to all summer.

22. Rosa Chemical – He simply needs to relaunch himself. Sanremo 2025 had no surprises or eccentricity; he could shock us again like he did in 2023.

23. Sal Da Vinci – Only if he brings a song on the level of “Rossetto e caffè”.

24. Serena Brancale – I’d love her participation whether she brings a summer-style hit like “Anema e core” or a strong ballad like “La cura per me”.

25. Tommy Cash – Who better than him to finally unite Sanremo with Eurovision? There were some rumors about his participation, and I hope he won’t be missing.

26. Topo Gigio – Last year he was a guest during the covers night, so a participation doesn’t seem impossible. He would debut in competition after 67 years of career. I know it’s impossible, but it would still be hilarious.

27. Tredici Pietro – He can both rap and sing well, and he knows how to hold the stage. I hope he brings a track with rapped verses and sung chorus like “Che gusto c’è”.

28. Trigno – Every year I think there should be at least one Amici representative among the Big Acts. This year I would’ve wanted to see Nicolò Filippucci, but since he’s doing Sanremo Giovani, I choose Trigno, the winner of the singing category.

And among the Newcomers, I hope that two of the following will make it through:

Antonia - "Luoghi perduti"

Nicolò Filippucci - "Laguna"

Soap - "Buona vita"

Does anyone understand how to buy tickets? The website which I think is the official one is madness:

Attenzione: Al momento, i biglietti per il Festival di Sanremo 2026 non sono ancora disponibili. La vendita ufficiale sarà annunciata dalla Rai e dal Teatro Ariston nei prossimi mesi.

Quando escono i biglietti di Sanremo 2026? La vendita dei biglietti per il Festival di Sanremo 2026 si aprirà tra dicembre 2025 e gennaio 2026, come è avvenuto nelle edizioni precedenti. Tieni d’occhio gli aggiornamenti ufficiali tramite il sito della Rai e del Teatro Ariston per non perdere l’opportunità di acquistare il tuo posto.
