Elettra Lamborghini calls for end to late-night parties near Sanremo festival hotels

Elettra Lamborghini voiced frustration over noise from late-night parties near hotels housing Sanremo festival performers, escalating her complaint from social media to the festival stage.

In the early hours of Wednesday, after the festival's opening night, Lamborghini posted on X at 3:15 a.m. expressing exhaustion and anger over the volume of music from nearby events. "Please turn down the music at the parties next to the hotels where the singers are staying, I'm begging you, the music is devastating," she wrote. "We're all dead tired and it's impossible to sleep, I swear."

The singer attributed the noise to brand-organized parties held in proximity to the accommodations where festival participants were lodged. She had spent the day conducting interviews and rehearsals before the opening night performance, leaving her fatigued.

Lamborghini's social media post gained rapid viral attention. The complaint did not end there. During the festival's second night, after performing her song "Voilà," she returned to the subject publicly. When Laura Pausini, one of the festival hosts, asked her about the situation in front of millions of television viewers, Lamborghini reiterated her position, calling for organizers to cease the nighttime events or relocate them to appropriate venues.

"If you want to throw raves, rent a nightclub," she stated, directing her remarks at those organizing the parties. She also addressed the festival's hosts directly, saying they needed to put an end to what she called "bilateral parties."
