SIAE MUSIC AWARDS all the prizes for musical creativity

Music news

The SIAE MUSIC AWARDS, the awards that celebrate the most successful Italian authors and publishers in Italy and abroad, were awarded yesterday in Milan.

After the news of Ornella Vanoni's passing, the evening was rethought and entirely dedicated to her memory. At the opening, the President of the SIAE Salvatore Nastasi, Mogol, Mario Lavezzi and the Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Milan Tommaso Sacchi, invited on stage by Amadeus who hosted the SIAE Music Awards for the second consecutive year, shared with the public a personal memory of the artist, underlining his extraordinary artistic and human legacy.

During the ceremony, each winner uttered a symbolic word representing Ornella, transforming the event into a moving tribute. Fiorella Mannoia, special guest of the evening, performed some songs made famous by Ornella Vanoni and “Terra Mia” by Pino Daniele, which received the 2025 Special Prize.
