Biography
Måneskin is an Italian rock band formed in Rome in 2016: the singer Damiano David, the bassist Victoria De Angelis, the guitarist Thomas Raggi and the drummer Ethan Torchio. The four started out playing in the street, and came second in the Italian X Factor in 2017.
In 2021 Måneskin won the Sanremo festival and then the contest in Rotterdam with “Zitti e buoni”. The same year the band became the first Italian rock act to reach the British top ten.
