Overview

• The national preview on September 27 drew roughly ten thousand attendees, according to ANSA.
• Baglioni performed the full La vita è adesso album within a three‑plus‑hour set and was visibly moved during “Avrai,” which he linked to thoughts of his grandson.
• He described artists and public figures as “trombettieri,” questioned their political impact, and called his O’Scià experience a closed chapter with limited results.
• Responding to controversy over about €800,000 in local spending, he said the money came from European cultural funds, estimated half stayed on the island through services and venue work, and noted artists performed as friends.
• The outdoor run is slated for 40 dates from June 29 to September 12, 2026, starting in Venice’s Piazza San Marco, as Baglioni reiterates plans to retire in 2026 with only special events possible afterward.
