The Sanremo Music Festival, a cornerstone of Italian popular culture since 1951, offers a unique lens through which to explore the country’s social, political, and cultural transformations. This talk examines how Sanremo’s evolving repertoire, media coverage, and public reception has reflected broader shifts in Italian society, from post-war reconstruction and economic boom to political unrest, globalisation, and contemporary debates on identity and diversity.
