You sing, performer, incredible mastery of the stage, technique, pure talent and a great dream: to continue to tread the stage. Giada Giordano, a 21-year-old from Milazzo, is the winner of the 2026 edition of The Stage. Her voice, her magnetism, her ability to amaze performance after performance won over the jury who ultimately awarded her the final victory.
A very rich final, sixteen finalists who competed in a group competition, a level of performance that put the jury composed of Danny Napoli, Maria Mascali, Carmen Cilione and Vincenzo Tripodo to the test, called to the toughest test after the auditions, the competition and the semi-finals. Together with them Sasà Salvaggio who managed to bring smiles and dampen the great emotion of the competitors. A final which also saw the sponsor prize offered by Sds Eventi to the singer-songwriter Mary Mazzullo who, despite not having reached the very last challenge, still caught the attention of the events company which wanted to reward her with a scholarship worth one thousand euros. For the winner Giada Giordano, however, a prize of two thousand euros which we hope will help her pursue her dreams.
During the journey of The Stage two other talents were able to stand out on the stage of the Palaverve of Cantine Madaudo. They are the very young saxophonist Gabriele De Pasquale and the singer-songwriter Karol Gaulniera. They received the YoungMe prize, two scholarships of one thousand euros each, offered by the Municipality of Messina which also for this edition has chosen to embrace The Stage project to especially valorise talents under 35. These are the words of Gabriele and Karol after the award ceremony.
