Developments: 3. Italian singer Marco Mengoni has recently expanded his professional activities within the music and cultural sectors. On September 18, 2026, Mengoni was honored with the Assoconcerti Prize at the BYD Music Awards, a recognition of his live performance success following the sale of 670,000 tickets. Following this recognition, Mengoni was appointed as the creative director for ‘Allo Sbagliato’, a new cultural space and club in Milan. In this role, he will oversee the venue’s visual identity and curate programming for an initial seven-week period, focusing on a blend of music, live art, and multimedia installations. The project aims to foster “authentic real-life connections in a digital age” by hosting exhibitions, creative meetings, and diverse performances. On September 28, 2026, Mengoni announced a residency at the venue, located in the former Teatro Principe area, running from November 5 to December 19. The residency will feature 26 live shows centered on soul, blues, and rhythm and blues, utilizing analog and acoustic instruments like the upright piano and organ. To encourage social interaction, the venue will operate under an ‘offline’ concept, requiring attendees to place smartphones in pouches to prohibit social media use or recording during performances. The club, which has a capacity of approximately 500 people, will feature a unique layout where the traditional stage is repurposed for seating to allow artists to perform at a 360-degree angle. Mengoni stated he seeks a more direct human connection through this project, which will focus on improvisation, spontaneity, and lesser-known tracks rather than his major hits. Ticket prices for these shows are expected to range between 100 and 200 euros, a cost Mengoni noted is necessary to support professional staff and high-quality production. ## Claims - Marco Mengoni will serve as the creative director for a new Milanese venue called ‘Allo Sbagliato’.
