Italian singer-songwriter Ultimo has released his latest single, "Bella Davvero," which debuted in the early hours of April 18, 2025. Produced by Juli, a long-time collaborator known for his work with the winner of the 2025 Sanremo Festival, Olly, this new track is already making waves in the music scene.
Accompanied by a music video directed by YouNuts!, "Bella Davvero" showcases a poignant narrative about the enduring nature of memories and the beauty of youthful love. The song features a recurring refrain that emphasizes nostalgia, with lyrics like, "You were beautiful, you were beautiful, you were really beautiful." This heartfelt message resonates deeply with listeners, capturing the essence of reminiscing about past relationships.
Within hours of its release, the song sparked a wave of affection among fans, some of whom made their way to Ultimo's home in Rome at 3:25 AM, presenting him with roses as a gesture of appreciation. This spontaneous display of admiration was documented by Ultimo himself on Instagram, where he shared a black-and-white video of him and Juli performing the single, further connecting with his audience.
Ultimo took to social media to announce the song's release, stating, "Bella davvero is the title of my new song. We are stars forever close in a piece of sky. You were beautiful, you were beautiful, you were beautiful, you were really beautiful." The song's lyrics evoke a sense of longing and reflection, as Ultimo recalls moments of joy and connection from a lost love.
The narrative of "Bella Davvero" unfolds through a cycle of love, memory, and loss. It begins with the excitement of falling in love, transitions into cherished memories shared in carefree moments, and ultimately acknowledges the bittersweet reality of saying goodbye. Ultimo expresses his vulnerabilities in lines like, "I stayed like that with my hood up, always shy and aloof but deep down with a sincere heart," allowing listeners to relate to his emotional journey.
As part of the promotional efforts for the single, Ultimo is gearing up for his highly anticipated "Ultimo Stadi 2025 - La favola continua…" tour, which kicks off on June 29, 2025, in Lignano Sabbiadoro. The tour will see him perform in various cities, including Ancona, Milan, Rome, Messina, and Bari, before concluding on July 23, 2025. Excitement for the tour is palpable, with all shows already sold out.
In a surprising twist, Ultimo revealed that he had decided against adding a fourth concert at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Instead, he hinted at a "crazy" and "unimaginable" project in the works for 2026, which he described as "Il raduno degli ultimi" (The Gathering of the Last). While details remain under wraps, it is expected to take place in the outskirts of Rome, potentially at the Vela di Calatrava in Tor Vergata, a location capable of hosting hundreds of thousands of fans.
Ultimo's career has been nothing short of remarkable. At just 29 years old, he has performed 42 stadium concerts, including ten at the Stadio Olimpico, and sold an impressive 1.75 million tickets. His music has garnered over 3.5 billion streams across various platforms, and in 2024, his entire discography remained in the top 100 albums sold in Italy for an astounding 16 weeks.
With the release of "Bella Davvero," Ultimo continues to solidify his status as a leading figure in the Italian music industry. Fans eagerly await his upcoming performances, and the emotional depth of his new single is sure to resonate with many. The anticipation surrounding his future projects only adds to the excitement as he embarks on this new chapter of his already illustrious career.
