A Festival of big numbers for TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, the brand that is a point of reference for the world of entertainment, which, thanks to the initiatives devised during Sanremo week, has achieved extraordinary results on all channels.

THE SUCCESS OF CASA SORRISI
The new Casa Sorrisi, an imposing two-story glass box inside the garden of the prestigious Hotel Miramare The Palace, made a strong impact. It hosted the brand’s editorial staff, directed by Aldo Vitali, and welcomed the Festival’s competitors with a whole host of interviews.
Casa Sorrisi was also the set of three new successful television productions: from Real Time with Il Podcast di Sorrisi a Sanremo to Food Network with the format In cucina a Sanremo con Ruben with Chef Ruben Bondì, on air from Sunday 23 February at 3 pm. The location will be the protagonist of a special episode, coming soon on Home & Garden TV.
The glass box was also appreciated by the Sanremo audience: thanks to its elevated architecture, transparency and proximity to the pedestrian street, passers-by were able to watch the arrival of all the guests from the outside and follow the Sorrisi programme live through external monitors.

BIG EVENTS WITH SORRISI
Casa Sorrisi was also the hub of successful events during the Sanremo week, starting with the Opening Party on 9 February: an unforgettable evening with over 350 guests and attendees of the likes of Carlo Conti, competing singers, presenters of the Prima and DopoFestival and many personalities from the world of entertainment, inaugurated with a ribbon cutting by the artistic director and host of the Festival together with the two co-hosts of the first evening, Gerry Scotti and Antonella Clerici.
Casa Sorrisi also hosted the press presentation of Vertical Music on Wednesday 12 February, the vertical format music contest, of which Sorrisi is the promoter for the first time and which will give many amateur artists the opportunity to send their unreleased songs in vertical clips to be then evaluated by an exceptional jury.

A PODCAST THAT HAS CONQUERED EVERYONE
Hosted by Aldo Vitali, together with Lodovica Comello and Tommaso Cassissa, and broadcast from Tuesday 11 to Saturday 15 February on Real Time (and now available in video streaming on discovery+, on the TV Sorrisi e Canzoni YouTube channel and all main audio streaming platforms), the Sorrisi a Sanremo podcast was a huge success. The programme welcomed competing singers, including the winner Olly, Bresh, Clara, Marcella Bella, Rocco Hunt, Rose Villain and Tony Effe, as well as numerous guests and the hosts of PrimaFestival Gabriele Corsi and Bianca Guaccero, for exclusive interviews and to tell the behind-the-scenes of the Festival, reaching almost 900,000 net viewers, with a high concentration of a younger female audience (women aged 15-34), among whom the programme obtained a share above 2%.

BOOM IN VIEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
The Sorrisi Instagram channel, with the publication of a lot of exclusive content, from the shooting of the iconic singers’ cover, to daily contributions from Casa Sorrisi, such as the traditional Caffè con il Direttore, video interviews with all singers in the competition, the social formats and the famous shot on the night of Saturday 15 February of the 3 artists on the podium, has led to a real boom in views: 30.6 million video views (+121% compared to 2024), added to which are the results of the new TikTok channel, started in January 2025, which managed to produce a further 18 million video views for a total of almost 50 million views between Instagram and TikTok.
Like every edition of the Festival, the website www.sorrisi.com was an indispensable guide for following the television event, thanks to the exclusive lyrics of the songs, the line-ups for each evening, and news directly from the press room, recording 27.2 million page views in the period from 9 to 16 February (+15% compared to 2024).
The Fantasanremo league of Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni was also a great success, with over 136,000 teams registered, more than doubling last year’s result.

PARTNERS
This year, numerous partners involved by Piemme, the exclusive concessionaire of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni and the Mondadori Media brands, have decided to support Sorrisi with tailor-made activities and projects, which were organised in its headquarters during the week.

Caffè Motta gave editorial staff and its guests moments of relaxation for the entire duration of the Festival; KIKO Milano created a beauty corner inside Casa Sorrisi, with two make-up stations to create exclusive looks and present the Dreamphoria spring collection as a world preview. Compagnia della Bellezza, in collaboration with L’Oréal Professionnel, was instead the Official Hair Partner of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni with a dedicated space inside Casa Sorrisi to assist artists and talents who were guests of the event. Dacia Italia, as the official car of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni at the festival, was at Sanremo with two Dacia Spring models, at Casa Sorrisi and on the move through the streets of Sanremo. Fabuloso gave an incredible explosion of fragrance to Sanremo with a branded glass box near the casino enriched by music, karaoke and many surprises that entertained over 400 people every day; for the entire duration of the Festival on the social channels of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, SisalTipster presented curiosities, statistics and analyses conducted by its experts on the event and its protagonists. Calligaris, Luceplan, Perdormire, SLIDE, Valentini, Twils and Qeeboo, provided furnishings including sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables and designer lights for Villa Emma and for the exclusive areas of the glass box; finally SLIDE, in addition to having supplied the iconic Amore bench, also provided a luminous modular structure Puzzle.

ActionAid, with whom Sorrisi has started a collaboration in support and awareness on the issues of the fight against poverty since November 2024, has set up two important initiatives during Sanremo week. Thanks to the support of the Mondadori Media brand, the NGO auctioned off many personal items of the competing singers on CharityStars, including Achille Lauro’s gold record, framed and signed, Massimo Ranieri’s autographed tie, Francesca Michielin’s top, a framed drawing by Simone Cristicchi and much more. At Casa Sorrisi the artists also signed and autographed the Puzzle design modules designed and supplied by SLIDE, who are also the protagonists of the auction currently online on the CharityStars website.

TV Sorrisi e Canzoni received event support from production company Left&Right, which has worked with the brand for years to help organise Sanremo week.
