Italian music festival

The Sanremo Christian Song Festival (Italian: Festival della Canzone Cristiana Sanremo) is an Italian music festival and song contest held annually in the city of Sanremo, Liguria.

The festival was created as to give a spotlight to christian music in Italy and to spread the word of Jesus Christ and Christianity through the use of music and songs.[1]

It has the patronage of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, the Italian Senate of the Republic, the Liguria region, the province of Imperia and the diocese of Sanremo and Ventimiglia.[2][3][1] The official media of the festival are Vatican Radio, Vatican News,[4] joined by Radio Speranza in 2025.[5]

Following 2026, the festival announced a partnership with “Media Partner” and Bella, Così, Ciao Donna, In Famiglia and Di Tutto Italian magazines.[6]

The creator of the festival, Fabrizio Venturi, first thought of creating the festival in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was delayed and only brought to fruition in 2021,[2][7] doing its first edition on 3 February 2022.[4][8] In its first edition, the “Diolovuole Band” were welcomed as special guests.[9]

Throughout the years it was proposed by various individuals as a way as to select an hypothetical Vatican candidate for the Eurovision Song Contest.[10][11][12]

The 2024 edition saw christian musician Noel Robinson as a special guest.[13]

The festival gained increasing traction after its 2025 edition thanks to the help of Christian online groups, specifically ones on the social media platform Facebook.[14] The 2025 edition was dedicated to Pope Francis and the 2025 Jubilee.[11]

The 2026 edition brought in numerous changes. Massimo Galfano, who previously had experiences as a talent scout for Area Sanremo, Sanremo Giovani, The Voice Senior, stated he had found new talents as candidates for the next edition.[6] It was also announced that in this edition the winner would recieve an authentic trophy made by Michele Affidato [it], the same goldsmith who makes the trophies for the Sanremo Music Festival.[15] This specific edition was dedicated to those “who operate peace”.[16]

This is a list of all the editions of the festival, as well as the respective victorious author and song of each edition.
