About Sangiovanni
Giovanni Pietro Damian (Italian pronunciation: [dʒoˈvanni ˈpjɛːtro ˈdamjan]; born Vicenza, 9 January 2003), known professionally as Sangiovanni (pronounced [san.dʒoˈvan.ni]), is an Italian singer-songwriter. == Life and career == === Early years === Born in 2003 in Vicenza and raised in Grumolo delle Abbadesse, Giovanni Pietro Damian is the youngest of three children of Pierluigi Damian and Lidia Guerra. He attended the Don Giuseppe Fogazzaro high school in Vicenza, which he left during his fourth year to participate in the twentieth edition of Amici di Maria De Filippi. He became interested in music at the age of seventeen, when he began writing his first songs, partly encouraged by his friend, singer Madame. He chose the stage name Sangiovanni by simply adding "San"—short for santo (saint)—to his given name, as many people told him he "didn't look like a saint". === 2020–2021: Participation in Amici 20 and debut EP === In 2020, Sangiovanni released his first three singles—"Paranoia", "Non +", and "Guccy Bag"—under the Sugar Music label. He gained broader public attention later that year by taking part in the early stages of the twentieth edition of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. He reached the final in May, finishing second overall and winning first place in the singing category. During the final, he received multiple awards, including the TIM Critics' Prize, the Radio Award, and the SIAE Award. During his time on Amici, he released the singles "Lady", "Tutta la notte", and "Hype", which, along with his previous releases, charted on the Italian singles chart.
