Johnson Righeira triumphs at Sanremo 2025

with Coma Cose!

Our beloved Johnson Righeira delivered a magical moment at the Sanremo Festival, reinterpreting L’estate sta finendo in the duet performance with Coma Cose. An intense, nostalgic, and futuristic performance all at once, captivating the audience and reaffirming his timeless talent.

Johnson has always been a great enthusiast of micronations, and his bond with the Ducato del Bardo is truly special.
He joined from the very beginning, unexpectedly, by sending an email directly to the Ducato to support our little utopia by purchasing the merchandise kit.

It's no secret that the Bardic flag proudly waves at his retreat in the hills of Agliè, not far from where he started producing excellent wine (the official patch of Bardo is on the jacket of the artist too!).

The performance at the Ariston theater in Sanremo was incredible: the Baron's energy and voice made everyone dance, sending the audience "in orbita sul mar".

Ça va sans dire, Johnson is a dear friend of the Duke, sharing a passion for artistic avant-gardes and a humor that is unmistakably Dadaist and Futurist. Their connection goes beyond music—it's built on creativity, vision, and a sharp irony that only true free spirits can truly grasp.

For us at the Ducato del Bardo, he is not just a musical icon but a visionary artist who has always looked beyond. And as he boldly states on the T-shirt he recently designed:
"There are those who create trends and those who follow them. I anticipate them."

Pride!
