Overview
- Lorenzo Salvetti, an 18-year-old singer from Verona, won Sunday’s live final and the €150,000 top prize paid in gold tokens.
- He earned the fifth finalist spot by defeating Angie in the opening head-to-head televote and later won the decisive public vote over dancer Alessio.
- Alessio took the dance category award worth €50,000, Emiliano received the Critics’ Prize for €50,000 and Oreo’s €30,000 Uniqueness award, and Angie won the Radio Prize; all finalists also received Marlù’s €7,000 Keep Dreaming award.
- Before the broadcast, major bookmakers had installed Alessio as the frontrunner, pricing his win near 1.90–2.00, a projection the viewer vote did not confirm.
- Next steps are already set in music releases, with Salvetti’s EP “Stupida vita” due May 22 on Warner Music Italy, Angie’s “Sogni di vetro” arriving May 22 via EMI/Universal, and Elena’s “Non è mica fantasia” out June 12 on Warner.
