ANDlettra Lamborghini, 31 years old, is an adorable mix of harmonious inconsistencies. He reveals that, competing at Sanremo festival 2026, he will wear “tight clothes”, but he will make his life more complicated by eating, shortly before, “a nice plate of tortellini», which he adores. On the other hand, we certainly didn’t expect boring linearity from this artist, who faces the most prestigious stage in Italy «with so much pressure on you», but always also «with the joke ready».
In his second time at the Ariston as a competing artist (in 2020 he sang Music and the rest disappears), contrary to expectations, he will not bring his beloved on stage reggaeton. Voila in fact, it looks to the dance music of the Seventies, with a declared homage to Raffaella Carrà, «iconic, revolutionary, singer and dancer, always with a smile. No one has ever had bad words for her, it’s not possible.” On the cover night, however, he chose the Las Ketchupgroup with which he will bring back to life Aserejea summer hit from over twenty years ago.
Elettra Lamborghini at Sanremo 2026
Last year, as co-host of the third evening of the Festival, «I was about to faint», he declared. But then he thought better of it: «Maybe it’s actually easier to lead, because it comes more spontaneously to me, I have the joke ready. Here in the competition I have more pressure, because I have to sing well. There is much more important preparation.”
Control freak – would you have ever said that about her? – he loves «organizing things himself but here it is not always possible. I’m a very person sensitive and perfectionistso if everything isn’t the way I want, I’ll go a little crazy. And recently, yes, I must admit that I have collapsed a bit.”
Compared to the past, however, he will tread that legendary stage with greater awareness Why “I feel like I’ve studiedto be prepared. But unfortunately I’m human and so I hope that emotion doesn’t play a trick on me.”
It is no coincidence that, in the days preceding the Festival, she was spotted wearing a mask, because «I’m always afraid that an external factor could hinder performance. For example, I get a fever or bronchitis. I’m afraid of not being able to control things that, unfortunately, I can’t control.”

Voilathe song with which he aims for victory
His song, Voila comes at a time of «small rebirth. I felt the need to change and show another part of me. People, like music, evolve. At a certain point it’s like wearing shoes that are tight.”
He continues to love Reggaeton, but he wanted «to try other soundsto find a new reality. Of course, Latin music will always be part of me, but when I listened Voila I understood that it could be the beginning of this phase.”
This is one of those pieces «that if I had heard sung by someone else I would have said: “How I wish it were mine“”, he revealed. “It had been a long time since I heard a piece that represented me like this. I hadn’t lost hope, but I was a little disillusioned».
He called his song “very strong. I’m a sunny person, looking for good vibes and Voilaas soon as they made me hear it, he gave it to me. You know the one song that you pump in the car early in the morning to find energy and face a hell of a day? Here, this. It’s direct, one celebration of life, of joy».
Not the favorite, but…
Of the thirty songs competing, according to journalists’ ratings reports, that of Elettra Lamborghini he doesn’t start quite like the favourite. She, however, doesn’t seem to mind. Indeed, he believes he also has an explanation: «I don’t take it. I never talk about my family but I know that it is inevitable that there are prejudices and that therefore people prefer to reward those who have worked their way up compared to someone with a known surname.”
At the beginning of her career this brought her down, «now I just hope that when the public listens to the song change your mind. I would like to show a more adult and serious version of myself and I hope to sing well. Then on the cover night we dance and have fun».

The evening of covers
For the evening of covers he promises «something crunchy». And who better than the very lively ones Las Ketchup, to report with at Ariston Aserejeglobal hit of 2002? «I was a child, I went to the beach in Riccione, I watched MTV and Top of the Pops. I remember that iconic balletwhich we will do again on stage.”
There was immediate harmony with the girls in the group, and a collaboration between women «It seemed like a nice message to me. And then they are humble, sweet, available. Often the largest are the simplest.” With them he will try to complete his mission: «see all of Ariston standing and dancing». Even if it’s not a reggaeton.
