Italian singer-songwriter Arisa is set to grace the stage of the Sanremo Festival 2026 with her new song,”Magica favola.” The artist, whose real name is Rosalba Pippa [[3]], recently discussed the meaning behind the track and her personal life in interviews with Rai Uno and La Repubblica.
“Magica Favola” and a Renewed Viewpoint
Arisa described “Magica favola” as a reflection on life’s evolution and a rediscovery of childhood innocence. “I always experience everything like the first time,” she explained during a presentation on Rai Uno. “Now that I haven’t been [at Sanremo] for a few years, it’s even more impactful. The song talks about a life that evolves, but at a certain point you find a bit of the childish innocence of the little girl.”
dating Apps and Modern Relationships
In a candid conversation with La Repubblica, Arisa addressed recent discussions surrounding her use of dating applications. She stated, “When asked, I answer. There are no things I tell or don’t tell. If it comes to the matter I don’t see why I shouldn’t talk. These dating apps are also used to chat, pass the time, explore: I know people who don’t know who I am on the other part of the world.” [[1]] This openness comes after reports surfaced regarding her connecting with people through these platforms.
When questioned about whether she is currently in love, Arisa responded with characteristic honesty: “We don’t know, I can’t understand it.”
Arisa also touched upon the challenges of forming genuine connections within the Italian music scene. “I like them all a bit, I know well that making music in this contry is not easy for women,” she commented. “Friendship is the result of many experiences made together, there are various levels of knowledge.For work, there are those who go one way, those the other.There are few opportunities to meet. Telling the tale of the Mulino Bianco,saying that great friendships are born in our surroundings,no.”
