About
Marco Mengoni is one of the leading figures in contemporary Italian music, an artist who has imposed his voice and charisma far beyond the borders of his home country. Born in 1988 in Ronciglione, he rose to fame in 2009 by winning X Factor Italia, marking the beginning of a meteoric rise that has positioned him among the most respected artists of his generation.
Among his most remarkable achievements, Mengoni is one of the few Italian artists to have won the prestigious Sanremo Festival twice: first in 2013 with L’Essenziale, a song that became a generational anthem, and then in 2023 with Due Vite, a mesmerizing ballad that led him to represent Italy at Eurovision, where he secured 4th place.
His latest single, Mandare Tutto all’Aria, released in November 2024, reflects his desire for artistic reinvention and offers a subtle critique of contemporary society.
Mengoni is also the first Italian male artist to win the MTV Europe Music Award for Best European Artist, a feat he achieved in 2010 and repeated in 2015. Known for his powerful vocals, intense stage presence, and artistic commitment, he consistently delves into deep and personal themes while embracing new sounds, making him an ever-evolving artist.
Marco Mengoni is much more than a singer—he is a storyteller, a cultural ambassador, and an artist who continues to push boundaries. His journey from a small town in Lazio to international acclaim is a testament to his talent, dedication, and ability to connect with audiences on a profound level. With every album, performance, and project, Mengoni cements his legacy as one of Italy’s greatest musical talents.
