There is a bit of Sardinia in the victory of the last edition of X Factor 2022. It flows in the veins of Alessandro De Santis, 24, who with Mario Francese, his age, reached the triumph of the French Saints on the stage of the Mediolanum Forum from Milan.
He is the soul and voice of Rkomi's team duo. The musical partnership was born and consolidated in Ivrea. And it was in Piedmont that Alessandro's grandfather, Efisio Contini, had emigrated from Burcei . There he had a daughter, Silvia, who gave birth to the histrionic star of the moment, who conquered critics and audiences with her scratchy voice.
Now the grandfather has returned to Sardinia and lives in Castiadas. The rumor about the Burcerese origins of the singer of the French Saints immediately began to circulate in the village and, after a brief search, they also found confirmation from the mayor Simone Monni. Alessandro's great-grandparents were called Fedele Contini and Gisella Zuncheddu.
