Overview
- The singer performed 'Stella Stellina' at the 76th Festival di Sanremo as a dedication to children harmed in the Israel–Hamas war in Gaza.
- He appeared with 'Amal'—Arabic for hope—embroidered on his collar and said he will present a Palestinian child's name onstage each night.
- Lyrics evoke displacement and confinement, including lines about fleeing a land that rejects them and being trapped between walls and sea.
- Host Carlo Conti handed Meta the bouquet and remarked that flowers should celebrate life rather than rest on the graves of children.
- 'Stella Stellina' was inspired by Meta’s young daughter and features on his album 'Funzioni Vitali,' set for release on February 27.
