Sangiovanni
Giovanni Pietro Damian (born Vicenza, 9 January 2003), known professionally as Sangiovanni, is an Italian singer-songwriter.
Born in 2003 in Vicenza and raised in Grumolo delle Abbadesse, Giovanni Pietro Damian is the youngest of three children of Pierluigi Damian and Lidia Guerra. He attended the Don Giuseppe Fogazzaro high school in Vicenza, which he left during his fourth year to participate in the twentieth edition of Amici di Maria De Filippi.
He became interested in music at the age of seventeen, when he began writing his first songs, partly encouraged by his friend, singer Madame. He chose the stage name Sangiovanni by simply adding "San"— short for santo (saint) — to his given name, as many people told him he "didn’t look like a saint".
In 2020, Sangiovanni released his first three singles — "Paranoia", "Non +", and "Guccy Bag" —under the Sugar Music label. He gained broader public attention later that year by taking part in the early stages of the twentieth edition of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. He reached the final in May, finishing second overall and winning first place in the singing category. During the final, he received multiple awards, including the TIM Critics' Prize, the Radio Award, and the SIAE Award.
During his time on Amici, he released the singles "Lady", "Tutta la notte", and "Hype", which, along with his previous releases, charted on the Italian singles chart. The most successful of these was "Lady", which was certified four-times platinum by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI). On 14 May 2021, he released his self-titled debut EP via Sugar Music, which debuted at number one on the Italian Albums Chart. Within two weeks, the EP was certified platinum, followed by a second platinum certification in July, a third in September, and a fourth in May of the following year, with over 200,000 units sold in Italy. The EP also entered the Swiss Albums Chart, peaking at number 34.
In the same week as the EP's release, Sangiovanni achieved his first number-one single with "Malibu". The song was the most successful track of 2021 according to FIMI, and became the most streamed song in Italy on both Spotify and Apple Music, as well as the most viewed music video of the year on Vevo.
He later released the singles "Raggi gamma" and "Perso nel buio" in collaboration with Madame, both included in the digital reissue of his EP. Sangiovanni announced his first national tour, the Sangio Live Tour, scheduled for May 2022 with nine concert dates. At the 2021 SEAT Music Awards, he received four awards in recognition of his success that year.
In February 2022, Sangiovanni competed for the first time in the 72nd Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Farfalle", finishing in fifth place in the final ranking. A Spanish-language version of the song, titled "Mariposas" and recorded in collaboration with Spanish singer Aitana, was later released. That same year, he featured on Dance Floor, a track from Wayne Santana's album (member of Dark Polo Gang), and collaborated with Mecna and CoCo on the single "Tilt".
