Gabry Ponte:
Gabriele “Gabry” Ponte (born April 20, 1973) is an Italian musician, DJ, and producer, best known as a member of the Italian dance group Eiffel 65. He gained fame in 1998 when he produced the international hit “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”, which topped global charts. His work, both as part of Eiffel 65 and as a solo producer, has made a significant impact on the electronic and dance music genre. In 2005, Ponte announced his departure from Eiffel 65 to pursue a solo career and, in 2006, founded the “Dance and Love” label, which became one of the most important independent dance labels in Italy.
Ponte represented Austria at Eurovision 2022 as a producer and co-writer for the song “Halo”, performed by LUM!X and Pia Maria. In his live performances, Ponte has performed approximately 90 shows across 11 countries, before over 700,000 spectators. He composed and produced the official theme song for the Sanremo Festival 2025, “Tutta l’Italia”, which became a massive hit in Italy. He also performed this song as a guest at the Sanremo Festival this year in an unforgettable performance.
“Tutta L’Italia”:
The song deals with Italian lifestyle and culture, while also referencing the sense of freedom and recklessness of the younger generation, everyday experiences, humorous events, and feelings of nostalgia and life in the current reality.
The inspiration behind “Tutta L’Italia” comes from the Italian way of life, with the narrator mentioning local customs such as food, drinks, social connections, and even politics. The song includes references to a life of freedom and liberation, with quotes about situations like drinking alcohol and partying at clubs. There is also a mention of politics, referencing an iconic political figure, and the urban pace of life. Additionally, the song touches on social dynamics and presents a picture of Italian youth—happy, yet with sad eyes that carry a sense of longing. It addresses themes of friendship, unstructured living, and the essence of life in modern reality, all while maintaining an immediate sense of enjoyment.
The song was written by the artist himself. The song is performed in Italian. Ponte represented Austria at Eurovision 2022 as a producer and songwriter for the song “Halo,” performed by LUM!X feat. Pia Maria.
Lyrics of “Tutta L’Italia”:
Mamma stasera non ritorno
Ma sicuro finisco in qualche letto, poi dormo
Siamo dei bravi ragazzi, apposto
Spaghetti, vino e padre nostro
E la Gioco-o-onda ride
Va bene, ma lei sta a Parigi
I baci vietati ne-nelle stradine nere
Occhi tristi ma felici
Quanti amici degli amici
E canti, ti sento tra le grida
Le luci ci passano le dita
Fa niente se non l’hai mai sentita
Ma con ‘sta roba ci salta
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia
Lasciateci ballare
Con un bicchiere in mano
Domani poi ci pentiamo
A dirci: “Ti amo”
Che qui ci sente
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ram…
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ram…
(Hey)
Il calcio lo prendono a calci
La moda che fa degli stracci
Cucina stellata di avanzi, beato santissimo Craxi
E quante mo-o-onetine
Ma i desideri son degli altri
Ma con le collanine d’oro sulle canottiere
L’auto blu con i lampeggianti
Avanti, popolo, avanti
E canti, ti sento tra le grida
Le luci ci passano le dita
Fa niente, baby, così è la vita
E con ‘sta roba ci salta
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia
Lasciateci ballare
Con un bicchiere in mano
Domani poi ci pentiamo
A dirci: “Ti amo”
Che qui ci ѕente
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
One, two, three, four
(Hey)
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ram…
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ram…
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ram…
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-rаm…
