Chiara Giannella advances to X Factor bootcamp

Chiara Giannella, performing under the stage name Noéle, has successfully passed the auditions for X Factor 2026. The 25-year-old singer, originally from Lierna, received four “Yes” votes from judges Francesco Gabbani, Jake La Furia, Paola Iezzi, and Irama.

Giannella performed “No Roots” by Alice Merton, an interpretation that earned praise from the original artist on social media. A graduate of the CPM Music Institute in Milan, Giannella previously attempted to audition for the talent show in 2020 at age 19 but did not advance.

Following her successful audition, she will now move on to the bootcamp phase of the competition.
