Sanremo is preparing to live its most iconic week not only under the sign of music, but also of glamour and relationships that matter. On the eve of the 76th edition of the Festival, on Tuesday, Feb. 24, the spotlight will turn on the Opening Gala signed by The Code, with Forbes Italia media partner, an event destined to officially inaugurate the more exclusive and lifestyle side of the 2026 Festival. The chosen location is the Victory Morgana, one of the symbolic addresses of San Remo nightlife, ready to transform into a contemporary living room suspended between entertainment, business and high society.
In the beating heart of the festival week, the Opening Gala is confirmed as one of the most anticipated events, capable of bringing together on a single red carpet discography protagonists, entrepreneurs, music industry managers, established artists and new faces of the creative scene. An encounter between generations, languages and visions, where music becomes the starting point for a broader dialogue that embraces communication, collective imagination and the future.
Beginning at 8 p.m., the Victory Morgana will welcome guests in a sophisticated and vibrant atmosphere: aperitifs overlooking the sea, photographers’ flashes, smiles, curated looks and a guest list that mixes established icons and stars of Generation Alpha and Generation Zeta. The pace of the evening will be set by Gianluca Vacchi’s DJ set, ready to ignite the San Remo night with his unmistakable energy, transforming the Opening Gala into a true contemporary celebration of style and entertainment.
“Sanremo is not just a Festival, it is an ecosystem that combines music, business, communication and collective imagination,” says Fabrizio Scippa, CEO of The Code Srl. “With the Opening Gala we want to create an elegant and topical meeting place, where the excellences that support the music industry can dialogue, celebrate each other and look to the future, in an international and strongly identity context.” At his side is Claudio La Commara, manager and creator of the Opening Gala format, which over the years has become a fixed and recognizable appointment of Sanremo week.
Between networking, entertainment and lifestyle, the Opening Gala 2026 thus stands as a candidate to be the first, true glamour beat of the Festival: a night when Sanremo tells its own story beyond the Ariston stage, among visions, connections and new energies.
