Sal Da Vinci's music breaks down every barrier, even the most unexpected ones. In Margherita di Savoia, during Holy Mass, about 200 children sang “Forever yes”, the winning song of the Sanremo Festival, transforming it into a true moment of community prayer.
An episode that's sparking discussion and, above all, confirms an increasingly evident fact: the Neapolitan artist's song truly appeals to everyone. Even the Church.
A special Mass with 200 children
The event took place in the parish of San Pio, led by Father Michele Schiavone. The children—from first grade to eighth grade—joined their families in an unusual celebration.
The younger children sang from their pews, while the older children choreographed a dance on the altar, incorporating the song into the liturgical context as a moment of praise. The whole thing was introduced by a quote from Saint Augustine that says it all: “He who sings prays twice.”
From Sanremo hit to prayer song
And that's the crux of the matter. "Per sempre sì" hasn't been confined to the Ariston stage or the radio: it's entered homes, hearts... and now even churches.
A symbolic moment that better than any chart tells the story of how the song resonated with audiences. The simple melody, the emotional lyrics, and that familiar tone typical of Sal Da Vinci transformed the song into something more than a hit.
For many, it has become almost a generational anthem, capable of speaking to both adults and children.
The video is already viral
The video of the celebration, published on the parish's social media, surpassed in a few hours the 100 thousand views, relaunching the initiative well beyond the boundaries of the local community.
A sign that the episode has struck a chord with the collective imagination: seeing a pop song transform into a liturgical moment is not an everyday occurrence.
Sal Da Vinci, the artist who makes everyone agree
If there was any further confirmation needed, this episode erases it all. Sal Da Vinci today achieves a rare feat: appealing across the board.
From historical fans to the general public, up to – surprisingly – the ecclesiastical world, “Forever yes” is living a second life that goes beyond music.
And maybe this is the secret of success: when a song enters people's daily lives, it stops being just a hit.
It becomes something that unites. Even in church.
