This is my heartfelt tribute to the Måneskin community, including my bandmates, fans, and supporters.
When we originally started, we were just a handful of dreamers rehearsing on street corners and performing in small rooms where the echoes of our guitars frequently drowned out our own voices. We were raw, imperfect, and hungry. Back then, I had no idea how far this voyage would lead us or how profoundly it would influence my life. Today, when I reflect on the years that have passed, I feel impelled to express thankfulness beyond words.
Måneskin—Victoria, Ethan, and Thomas—are not only bandmates, but also family. We’ve shared hotel rooms, had restless nights, packed trucks, and stages that stretched as far as our eyes could see. We have endured criticism, self-doubt, tiredness, and the strain of carrying a message larger than oneself. We stood together during every storm. You allowed me to be completely myself—to sing loudly, stumble, rise again, and pour every ounce of passion into our song. This bond that we share is more than just the foundation of our band; it is the heart of my life’s work.
Måneskin’s fans have supported us in ways that go beyond music. Your cries, tears, laughter, tattoos with our songs, and limitless patience and commitment have created an unbreakable bond between us. You’ve stood in the rain for hours to hear us sing, travelled across countries to watch us perform, and defended us when the world tried to reduce us to stereotypes. Because of you, a band born in Rome can be heard across arenas from Los Angeles to Tokyo. Each time I stand on stage and hear your voices louder than mine, I am reminded of the strength of community, and that Måneskin is not just four individuals, but millions.
The Måneskin community, including journalists, producers, crews, and organizers, created a supportive environment for us to develop our sound. You entrusted us with your platforms, resources, and faith. For that, I shall be eternally thankful.
My road hasn’t always been easy. I’ve stumbled, questioned myself, and struggled through the shadows that typically accompany the spotlight. But whenever I felt lost, I found my way back to you—my band, my fans, and my community. You gave me a purpose, and for that, I owe you not only music but also bits of my soul.
As we continue on this road, I promise to be true: to sing honestly, to perform with passion, and to never lose sight of the love that unites us all. Måneskin represents freedom, rebellion, and unification, beyond just music. And none of it would exist without you.
With love, gratitude, and unwavering dedication
