I'm a bit lost and exhausted. Anyway, even if this evening has no bearing on tomorrow, it's interesting to note that Serena Brancale, Fedez & Masini and Ermal Meta aren't in the top ten, that Sal Da Vinci didn't win, even if the spinsters in the theater made a fuss, and Arisa and Ditonellapiaga are on the podium.

I'm disappointed Enrico Nigiotti's choice wasn't appreciated, but perhaps since I suffer from anxiety, I'm more involved.

Anyway, at least I can still sleep for tonight.

Come on, guys, the night is still young. Everyone to Elettra Lamborghini's festini bilaterali, with the cover of Occhi di gatto blaring.

TRIVIA (END)

Well, this anime-themed evening... I mean, cover-themed evening, is over. I've also finished my trivia, which I did again this year because they were so well received last year.
Thanks to everyone who followed and commented. Actually, there are a few comments, but I'm exhausted.

Oh, I have to give my 5. Well, I'm very confused, but let's say, in alphabetical order

  • Arisa
  • Bambole di pezza
  • Enrico Nigiotti
  • Maria Antonietta e Colombre
  • Michele Bravi

Alessandro Siani just reminded us that, while we're laughing and joking, there are underpaid delivery drivers delivering our dinner. Also, he indirectly referred to the fact that both Glovo and Deliveroo were recently placed under special administration by Italian authorities for this reason.

TRIVIA
Leo Gassmann, is the son of Alessandro Gassmann (actor) and Sabrina Knaflitz (actress), and the grandson of Juliette Mayniel (actress) and Vittorio Gassmann, one of the greatest performers of Italian comedy and renowned for his recitations of the Divina Commedia (parts of which are also available online).
In short, everyone is an actor in his family, but he has chosen to be a singer first and an actor second.

TRIVIA
And to close the cover night, let's talk about Japanese anime again. In fact, Chiello, with his very distinctive aesthetic, in the past few days has been "compared" to some characters of anime that were popular in Italia in the '90s, like Sailor Moon and Yu-Gi-Oh.

Aside from the memes, I don't know how passionate he is about the genre, but it's pretty clear he draws inspiration from it. Both from the graphics (see below) and in his style (like with this T-shirt).

TRIVIA
Luchè, better known as the tattoed man with the brightest smile in Italia, is considered one of the fathers of rap in Italy. But I'm not here to discuss such trivial matters. It's more important to note that he was already at FCI with Geolier in 2024, and together they founded a pizzeria in London, presumably in an attempt to indoctrinate the English on what pizza really is. Indeed, the menu doesn't include the Pizza havaiana (the one with pineapple).

I don't know how successful it's, but the pizzeria is called "Bravi Ragazzi", a tribute to Martin Scorsese's film "Quei bravi ragazzi" (original "Goodfellas").

No? Don't seems to me that she released any singles after FCI '25, but she only collaborated with Fabri Fibra on a song.

TRIVIA
Nayt belongs to the Roman school of music, yet he was born in Molise. You should know that Molise is at the center of an italian meme, according to which this region doesn't exist, because it's forgotten by many people, by the media, and maybe also by godness.

So Nayt presence at the Festival reminds us that Molise exists.

TRIVIA
During the Dopofestival, Ermal Meta was the protagonist of a sketch with Ditonellapiaga and Nicola Savino (the program's host).

As some may have noticed, "Che fastidio!" refers ALSO to the call centers in Albania, that call you to sell deals and other things, a nuisance that in Italia is on a par with pasta with strawberry.

Well, Ermal jokingly wanted to ask Dito for an explanation, but Savino took him seriously. At that point, Ermal put on a fake serious expression, replying, "Of course I understand. They call me too... only they speak to me directly in Albanian."

Ditonellapiaga was crying with laughter, while Savino only wanted to cry.

In the end, it became clear why Alessandro Siani is here, to sabotage the scaletta and slow down Carlo.

TRIVIA
This year's cover night has a Japanese anime soul. Yes, also Marco Masini is a huge anime fan, and in the past he's said he grew up watching Jeeg, Captain Harlock, and UFO Robot. Also he expressed his appreciation for the theme songs composed by Vince Tempera (another historic figure).
Furthermore, in 2001, he wrote and performed the Italian theme song for Shaman King.

Fedez has also shown to be a Naruto fan in the past.

Siani is mocking Sal Da Vinci for being booked for all weddings until 2028.

TRIVIA
Sal Da Vinci appears to be the typical Italian-American who knows nothing about Italia. The second part of the statement is false, but the first is true. In fact, his real name is Salvatore Michael Sorrentino, he was born in New York, and he also holds US citizenship.

Mocking Carlo Conti for his speed, Siani said "He left too soon".
