In the picture: the moon, the Monviso Mount and the Basilica of Superga (on the Superga hill) outside Turin are all aligned. it took him 6 years to take this shot (and I take it as an example to never give up on your dreams).

this human AU is by @tiedsoftspoken and i am absolutely obsessed with it SPAMTON ITALIANO TI ADORO
I have a random question for Italianblr and of course the best way to quench my thirst for knowledge of important aspects of life is through a Tumblr poll
Fellow Italians, do you have a moka at home?
Yes
No
Not Italian / Italian but bald
Doesn’t matter if it’s Bialetti or Alessi or any other brand, if it’s a Neapolitan one that you have to turn around, if it’s one with an electric plate - as long as it’s a moka and works like a moka. It also doesn’t matter if you use it or not - as long as you have one somewhere at home
Please reblog even if you’re not Italian, I need to know if I’m right when I say that a moka is a non-negotiable in an Italian household
If you’re not Italian but have a moka: you are now an official friend of Italy whether you want it or not
Fiorello non gliene frega niente degli insulti lui e Ama si sono divertiti THEY MIGHT BE CRINGE BUT THEY ARE FREE

Sanremo 2026 - the post!
Hello everyone!
Here you’ll find this year’s Sanremo’s stuff and news (I’ll be updating this post through the week too). The Festival will start on Tuesday February 24th at 8:30 pm, and end on Saturday February 28th, when the final will be broadcasted.
/ Official website / you can find loads of videos and interviews here + the latest news. You can already find the presentation videos of the songs made by the artists (on Raiplay as well).
Raiplay’s dedicated section | youtube playlist | spotify playlist
TikTok official channel: @/sanremorai; @/sanremoesc Instagram official: @/sanremorai Twitter official: @/SanremoRAI; @/SanremoESC Facebook: festivaldisanremo Youtube: @/rai (to check also the latest interviews)
Each night from February 24th to February 28th, before the start of Sanremo at around 8:25 PM (GMT+1), on Raiuno will be broadcasted the usual PRIMAFESTIVAL (click to rewatch/watch more). The hosts are: Ema Stokholma (tv/radio host), Manola Moslehi (singer, tv/radio host), Carolina Rey (actress, tv/radio host).
There’s gonna be the usual DOPOFESTIVAL (click to rewatch/watch more), with Nicola Savino (tv host, deejay) starting right after the end of each Sanremo’s night (24th-27th Feb.) on Raiuno. Some of the guests are: Aurora Leone (The Jackal, actress, comedian, host), Federico Basso (comedian), Enrico Cremonesi (composer).
As every year, on the Sunday after Sanremo’s final (Feb. 28th 2026 this year) DOMENICA IN (click to rewatch) hosted by Mara Venier will take place in Sanremo: all the singers will get to perform their song once again and answer a few questions. It’ll be broadcasted on Raiuno starting from 2:00 PM (GMT+1). At around 8:35PM (GMT+1) still on Raiuno, DIETROFESTIVAL (click to rewatch/watch old ones) will show an hour of behind the scenes from Sanremo’s competition.
SOTTO SANREMO - 7 episodes, from February 23rd to March 1st on Raiplay. Anna Lou Castoldi, Nicole Rossi and Elisa Maino will show Sanremo from a different perspective, from an abandoned place below the stage. They will have guests (singers mostly) and talk about the feelings, the rituals, the curiosities and much more.
SUPERNOVA - podcast on Spotify (and instagram) hosted by Alessandro Cattelan where he interviews Sanremo singers and more
CasaSanremo- A website about Sanremo and all the artists who will take part, with more infos and interviews (also Italian places and food specialties will be shown). Follow them also on their Social Media Channels, usually they make live video/interviews/shows on FB for example.
On Sorrisi&Canzoni you will find also other infos about Sanremo and every lyrics’s explanation (ofc ask me if you need a translation)
This year's official jingle is “Emigrato (Italiano)” by Welo
The # on this blog are #sanremo 2026, #sanremo, #sanremo2026 you can black any of these (the first one in particular) if you want.

How to enjoy SANREMO live:
Raiuno -> just click on the second video on the left, or here, to open the Raiuno streaming immediately (I added the whole Rai channels things in case you had troubles connecting directly and wanted to try from there). RAI’s geoblock is usually removed for Sanremo’s week, no need to create accounts or whatsoever to enjoy Sanremo online!! Remember you can rewatch the whole event and each performance on Raiplay few minutes after it has happened and for the whole week too (after the end of Sanremo, there will be only 1mins vids of each performance avaiable).
You can also follow the whole competition on Radio2.
FESTIVAL LIS - songs and whole exhibition explained in signs language
FANTASANREMO - this year as well you can play while enjoying your Sanremo! How does it work? Every person “buys” 5 artisti and marks one of them as a captain. As in the last years, artists will have to do or say something while on stage to help you gain points (and also classification will have a say).
I’ll try to write down some more infos/links through the week.

HOST & GUESTS & Other stuff
This years’ host will still be Carlo Conti (who choose the songs taking part into this Sanremo), a TV and radio host/deejay. He already hosted for 4 years (2015-2017 and 2025). He will be accompanied by Laura Pausini (singer; ESC co-host) as a co-host every night. Together with them, as usual, during each night there will be different guests. Some will be announced only right before the start of the evening so keep an eye on the schedule.
There won’t just be the competition inside the Ariston: the Suzuki Stage will be held in Sanremo’s piazza Colombo and every night there will be live performances (they may show something during Sanremo as well). Daniele Battaglia (singer, radio host, son of Dodi Battaglia of I Pooh) will be the host, while the performers will be: feb24: Gaia; feb25: Bresh; feb26: The Kolors; feb27: Francesco Gabbani; feb28: I Pooh Whereas on the boat in front of Sanremo every night will play Max Pezzali. On the first night he will be with Olly.

How it works:
There will be 30 singers in the ARTISTI (artists) section. There will be again 2 sections: BIG/CAMPIONI (already known artists) and NUOVE PROPOSTE (youngs). 30 artists of the BIG section were chosen by Carlo Conti, while the 4 of the NUOVE PROPOSTE are the finalists of Sanremo Giovani (held in December 2025: Angelica Bove, Nicolò Filippucci) and Area Sanremo (Blind, El Ma & Soniko, Mazzariello). The winner of the BIGs competition will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest (12-16th May, 2026 in Vienna): if he/she/they won’t accept, the choice will be another artist, usually the 2nd classified or the next (the first one accepting).
This year we’re gonna listen to the 30 BIGs’ songs on the first night and get a top 5 rank at the end. On the 2nd night we’ll get to listen to the 4 NUOVE PROPOSTE’s songs. The two with the most votes will perform again in the final on day 3: on that same night we’ll find out the winner of the category. On day 2 and 3, we’ll also listen again to 14/15 BIGs’ songs and get another top 5 rank. People at home can vote for both sections. On the 4th night there will be the usual “covers” night: the BIGs can choose any song published by the end of December 31st 2025, national or international, and will be accompanied by another artist. From this year, artists can also decide if to duet with another Sanremo’s contestant. We’ll get the winner of the covers’ night but the rank will be a separate rank from the one of the real competition. People at home can vote for both sections again. On day 5, all the BIGs will perform again. At the beginning of the night we’ll get the general top 5 rank of the past days, and at the end of the night we’ll get the positions from 30th up to 6th. The first 5 will be not in order. Another vote will take place after which we’ll find out the first 5 positions order and Sanremo’s winner.
