And the audience sensed it immediately. At the end of the song, the Ariston audience rose to applaud him in a standing ovation that said it all.
Social media boom: TikTok already invaded
Time to leave the stage and “Forever yes” It was already everywhere. On TikTok the song entered the most clicked trends, especially in Campania and Naples, where the connection between Sal Da Vinci and the audience is something special.

Anyone who really follows his career knows that this moment did not come about by chance. Sal Da Vinci's talent was already evident when he was a child, when atAmbrogino 1982 He sang "You made a mistake”.

I think the performance was intense, but not entirely clear. Sal sang forcefully and his voice seemed lively, but certain moments sounded strange, and the audience applauded too quickly. Naples seems proud, but I don't understand everything; perhaps the microphone was wrong and the setlist wasn't perfect. Persempre was touching, but the intimacy wasn't clear. Songs live in people's minds.
