Ultimo

Gianni Morandi tells the story behind the scenes of the Ariston Theater, revealing the great work and the most secret and unpublished emotions of the Sanremo Festival.

The film shows every facet of the record-breaking concert, faithfully following the passage of time and the crescendo of emotions that accompany ULTIMO's "everlasting fairy tale": song after song, fans will be able to relive every moment of this legendary live show, which represents the consecration of an artist who has effectively changed the landscape of the contemporary Italian music scene.

A journey spanning 15 stadiums in Ultimo’s life. A childhood marked by a passion for music, the meteoric rise that took him from clubs to stadiums in no time, the hiatus caused by the pandemic, and a tour that seemed to be slipping away.

A concert by Ultimo.

The Sanremo Music Festival is the most popular Italian song contest and awards, held annually in the town of Sanremo, Imperia, Italy, and consisting of a competition amongst previously unreleased songs. The Festival was the inspiration for the Eurovision Song Contest.

X Factor is the Italian version of the British musical talent show The X Factor. The first four seasons aired on Rai 2, but since 2011 it has been broadcast on Sky Uno, with reruns on TV8, after Rai dropped the show due to high costs. Sky Italia acquired the format, extending its broadcast until 2024. Starting from the eleventh season, RTL 102.5 became the official radio station, replacing Radio Deejay and Radio 105. The show was hosted by Francesco Facchinetti (2008-2010), Alessandro Cattelan (2011-2020), Ludovico Tersigni (2021), and Francesca Michielin (2022-2023). From 2024 onwards, Giorgia will take over as host. Since the seventh season, the show has been produced by Fremantle Italia without the collaboration of Magnolia, which had produced the selection episodes in the early seasons.
