Seventeen-year-old Mimì Caruso is the new winner of X Factor. With her powerful voice and magnetic personality, she won over the audience and the jury, beating Les Votives, I Patagarri and Lorenzo Salvetti in the final.
This edition of the talent show, thanks in part to a new cast of judges and Giorgia's hosting, was an unexpected success, so much so that it was renewed for another two years. The finale, held in a packed Piazza Plebiscito in Naples, was a true spectacle, with over 16.000 spectators and special guests such as Robbie Williams and Gigi D'Alessio.
Mimì's victory, chosen by Manuel Agnelli, represents an important milestone for the talent and for the young artist. The final, full of emotions and twists, saw music and talent triumph, giving the audience an unforgettable evening.
Young singer Mimì triumphed in the finale, beating out the other finalists: Les Votives (second), I Patagarri (third), and Lorenzo Salvetti (fourth). This season has been revitalized, episode after episode, infusing the format with new energy. This success has convinced Sky to renew the talent show, now considered sold out, for two more seasons.
Part of the credit also goes to the four judges – Manuel Agnelli, Achille Lauro, Jake La Furia, and Paola Iezzi – and to Giorgia's hosting, whom the audience appreciated for her qualities as a "good host."

Mimì's victory, against all odds, was a surprise: after the semifinal, she had gone from being the favorite to occupying the last place. However, under the guidance of Manuel Agnelli, who achieved his first success after six years as a judge, she managed to impose herself on the final night. Achille Lauro, on the other hand, entered the history of the program by bringing all the members of his team to the final for the first time.
Another new feature of this edition was the decision to host the finale "outdoors" in the evocative setting of Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples. This extraordinary spectacle required a staggering production effort: a 1.000-square-meter stage, a 500-square-meter video wall, 1.000 lights, a 40-person dance troupe for over 20 performances, 200 costumes, special effects, and fireworks. Sixteen thousand spectators watched live, while the broadcast was followed on Sky Uno, streamed on NOW, and free-to-air on TV8.
The evening was enriched by the presence of special guests. Robbie Williams opened the show with his new single Forbidden Road and, halfway through the evening, he returned to the stage with a medley of his hits, also providing a fun moment with Giorgia. There was no lack of an Italian touch: Gigi D'Alessio thrilled the audience with a medley of his songs and a tribute to Pino Daniele with Napule è.
The competition consisted of three rounds: in the first, the finalists chose the song that best represented them (Lorenzo with "Cosa Mi Manchi A Fare" by Calcutta, Mimì with "Because The Night" by Patti Smith, I Patagarri with "Cam-Camini" from Mary Poppins, and Les Votives with "Someone Like You" by Adele). The second round saw the contestants perform their "Best Of" songs, while the third was dedicated to their new songs. The evening concluded with a collective celebration on stage, amid confetti, hugs, and tears of joy.
