About Pop Italiano
The mainstream heart of Italian music, forged in the Sanremo Festival and broadcast across the world through melody-first songs. From the postwar swing of the canzone to glossy 1980s ballads and modern chart pop, it is built on big choruses, romantic lyrics, and singers who became household names across generations.
