Overview
- Gianni Morandi made an unannounced appearance to sing Vita with his son Tredici Pietro during Sanremo’s cover night, drawing an ovation after an embrace on stage.
- Tredici Pietro refreshed the Morandi–Lucio Dalla classic with rap verses, and Carlo Conti told a visibly moved Morandi, “Gianni, this is your home.”
- After the duet, Alessandro Gassmann posted that he had been told he could not appear because he is the parent of a contestant, noting he had planned to promote his upcoming Rai series.
- Conti clarified that Sanremo rules allow family members on stage and said this year’s lineup avoided Rai fiction promotions due to scheduling and ad-break constraints, adding he would have welcomed a father–son duet with Leo Gassmann.
- Alessandro Gassmann later said he had no quarrel with the Morandi performance and praised both artists, while Leo Gassmann lauded the duet and suggested some rules can feel unclear.
