It was clear that something was already brewing. EroCaddeo, 27, a singer-songwriter by profession, an idol not only in his hometown of Sinnai but throughout Italy, seemed to be thinking about everything except his near-victory at the press conference the day after the grand finale of X Factor in Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples . And indeed, the long-awaited announcement has already arrived: on January 9, 2026, Warner will release his autographed CD “scrivimi quando arriva (punto),” the same name as his first EP but featuring the previously unreleased track.
Here's Damiano, smiling more than ever, kind to everyone, his usual comedian. At peace with himself because "for me, it couldn't have gone better."
“I had fun,” he says with conviction. “I played my music, I brought ‘Punto’ to such an important venue. Seeing someone in the audience singing it with me was the greatest satisfaction .” More than anyone, considering we’re talking about the most streamed unreleased song ever, which still holds up in Spotify’s prestigious Top 50 .
She later revealed that her music career hadn't been going so well in recent years. That's why she'd even told her mother: "I'll give myself a year, then that's it." Her first EP, "Scrivimi quando arriva," was released in April, featuring the beautiful "Luglio," which, with the line "Per me sarai come Cagliari dopo le 7," literally exploded on social media. This gave her the motivation to apply for auditions.
Roberta Scandurra, the 20-year-old student from Trecastagni (Catania) who has raised the punk flag , wasn't at all disappointed in handing the trophy over to Rob. And at the press conference, they demonstrated it with a gag, replicating the proclamation scene with a Checco Zalone twist.
Now he's returning to Turin, the home of his musical project, for two recordings. Then he's off to Sinnai. And he promises: "Two live shows in Sardinia before New Year's."
