Francesco Gabbani in Florence

Francesco Gabbani is an Italian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, born in Carrara in 1982, whose music spans pop and pop rock. He won the newcomers’ section of the Sanremo Music Festival in 2016 with “Amen,” then returned the following year to win the main competition with “Occidentali’s Karma.” The song also took him to the Eurovision Song Contest, while the albums Magellano and Viceversa established further entries in his catalogue. The 2017 Magellano Tour followed his second Sanremo victory and took its album material to venues around Italy. In 2022, the Volevamo solo essere felici Tour presented songs from the record of the same name at summer concerts and included a performance at the Arena di Verona.
