The Måneskin return to X Factor: the photo story from their debut to today’s triumph

“We certainly won’t stop once we get out of here. Indeed, we will continue more and more, more and more ». To pronounce this sentence from the screen is Victoria De Angelis, bassist of the Moonlight. He gesticulates conspicuously with his right hand, while speaking, as if he wanted to give a body, a physical dimension to that “more and more”. Next to her are the other members of the Roman band: singer Damiano David, guitarist Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio. The video being played dates back to December 2017 and is the story of the group’s experience within the eleventh edition of X Factor, on the eve of the final that the Måneskin would soon conclude by finishing in second place.

Reviewing those minutes of video four years later, as well as excerpts from the audition – the audience applauding, the judges in the foreground who smile and nod slowly, the four yeses that open the doors of X Factor – has the same effect as old photographs: it confronts an eternal instant in which everything has yet to happen and everything is only possibility, dream or hope. In fact, Victoria was not wrong: once the positive experience in the program was over, that “more and more” arrived. A resounding success first nationally and then internationally.

Now as in the best stories, where the now transformed protagonists return to their place of origin, Måneskin are ready to tread the stage once again X Factor on the occasion of the final of the 2021 edition, Thursday 9 December. In recent years it had already happened that the group was hosted at the live shows of the talent show, but this time, after the year of global success that has just ended, the return is truly winners. The presence of the Roman band was announced as a surprise during the semifinal and is added to that already foreseen by Coldplay, international super guests.
