Update
Music is set to meet the sea as Naples prepares to host the 38th America’s Cup, scheduled to take place in the Gulf of Naples in June 2027. One of the artists linked to this prestigious international event is Edoardo Bennato, who is reportedly working on a song inspired by the competition.
According to the artist, the project has been in development since spring 2025, with the goal of creating a powerful and energetic anthem capable of capturing the excitement, passion, and competitive spirit of one of the world's most important sailing events.
⚓ A Deep Connection to Naples
For Bennato, this is more than just a musical project. The singer was born in Bagnoli, the district that will play a key role in hosting activities related to the America’s Cup and is considered one of the most significant symbols of Naples’ ongoing regeneration and development.
His involvement therefore carries a strong emotional and cultural significance, connecting the event to the city’s rich musical heritage and local identity.
🎶 Experience with Major Sporting Events
This would not be Bennato’s first contribution to a major international sporting event. He is widely known for performing the iconic song Un'estate italiana alongside Gianna Nannini, the official anthem of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. The song became a worldwide success and remains one of the most beloved sports anthems ever produced in Italy.
🌊 Naples Looks Ahead to 2027
Hosting the America’s Cup represents a unique opportunity for Naples to showcase its beauty, maritime tradition, and cultural heritage on a global stage. The event is expected to attract international visitors, generate significant economic benefits, and further enhance the city’s waterfront areas.
Should Bennato’s project become the official anthem, it could serve as a powerful soundtrack for this historic occasion, bringing together music, sport, and the unmistakable spirit of Naples. 🎤⛵🇮🇹
