Pfor anyone who was disappointed by the lack of controversy in the first evening of Sanremo 2026, now he can breathe a sigh of relief. The harsh lexical clash between Miss Italia and Ditonellapiaga is the curious news of the day. The competition company of beauty accuses Margherita Carducci (his real name) of having improperly used the sacred denomination as the title of the new album, and to have desecrated its nature in the lyrics of a song contained in it (titled Miss Italy). The singer, competing with How annoying!, he promptly replied during his press conference.
Miss Italia against Ditonellapiaga: the Sanremo 2026 controversy over the use of the name especially in the lyrics of a song from the new album
The company’s legal noticewhich refers to Patrizia Mirigliani, leaves no doubt. «The improper use of the name is contested Miss Italy by the singerwho used it as the title of one of his own pieces of music, as well as the album in which it is included.” What angered the brand was the use of words in the text, deemed harmful of the dignity and honor of the girls participating in the competition.
«This conduct is seriously prejudicial of the exclusive rights connected to the name Miss Italy, as well as the image and reputation of the competition. The most appropriate legal actions will be taken to prevent further use of the name and to obtain compensation for the damages suffered.”

The precedents and the reply of Ditonellapiaga
At the press conference in Sanremo the singer, who was very surprised by this unexpected controversy, he wanted to reply. «No insult, it’s a text that talks about me and the relationship with myself, with perfection. I don’t even know if they heard the lyrics, because the song wasn’t released.”
Finally she added, a little bitterly: «I’m sorry this news has arrived, Why I was hoping for a bit of self-deprecation. If they considered it offensive, they obviously don’t have the sensitivity to understand that I’m talking about myself and I’m not speaking badly of the Competition.” A thorny issue that nevertheless has illustrious precedents.
He played with Miss Italia Patty Pravo, thus titling her 1978 album. The song of the same name, however, was censored due to the lyrics, considered for the time to have strong political connotations given the release contemporary with the Moro kidnapping. It was in fact a song about the evils of Italian society. «Hey, you, Miss Italy! Innocence is under arrest now, and beauty is going on strike, you know, it’s raining madness, there’s no more room, you know, for you, Miss Italy!».
In 2024 two artists like Jack Savoretti and Gianluca Strobo on Spotify they used it in their pieces. Indeed: like Ditonellapiaga, Savoretti named both his album and a song that way.
