A mix of nostalgia and new energy

Less than two weeks before the Sanremo Music Festival 2025, the FantaSanremo Team drops a major surprise: the game’s official theme song will be performed by Cristina D’Avena, the legendary voice behind Italy’s most beloved cartoon theme songs.

The goal? To create an iconic and catchy anthem that captures the fun, strategy, and excitement of FantaSanremo. The perfect choice was a modern twist on a timeless classic: “Occhi di gatto,” now reimagined as “Occhi di FantaSanremo.”

The contemporary touch of Enrico Melozzi

Not only has the song’s lyrics been rewritten, but it has also been rearranged into a more energetic and contemporary version by Enrico Melozzi. A well-known Sanremo conductor and a beloved figure in FantaSanremo, Melozzi is part of the game’s official rules: any artist performing under his direction earns a 5-point bonus. This year, there’s a new twist—if a competing artist sings “Occhi di FantaSanremo” or part of it during the Festival, they will earn 10 extra points.

“Working with Cristina was like revisiting my childhood,” Melozzi shared. “Her music shaped entire generations, and transforming that nostalgia into a thrilling, modern anthem was an incredible experience.”

A playful and strategic song

The updated lyrics reflect the game mechanics of FantaSanremo, making the song both fun and strategic:

  • Seven artists to choose, 100 baudi to spend
  • With skill and wisdom, picking the right captain is key

And of course, the song explodes into a catchy chorus, designed to be sung loudly by fans everywhere.

Cristina D’Avena expressed her excitement:
“Singing the FantaSanremo 2025 theme song was so much fun! I’ve played the game in the past, checking scores and following all the bonuses. This year will be even more special for me! I hope this new version will bring joy to fans of all ages and make FantaSanremo even more exciting.”

A new addition to FantaSanremo’s musical legacy

“Occhi di FantaSanremo” now joins the official FantaSanremo anthem collection, following Eugenio in Via Di Gioia’sC’è un tam – tam” (2023) and NASKA’s “FantaSanremo (Official Anthem 2024).”

This year, FantaSanremo is more musical, nostalgic, and engaging than ever before!
