Anti-Israeli allegations
After its first performance at the Sanremo Festival, the song was criticised by the head of the Milan Jewish communityhospital bombings), accusing him of "anti-Israeli propaganda" in the context of the Israel–Hamas war and requesting that host broadcaster RAI intervene; the artist responded by clarifying that the song had been written before the October 7 attacks but that he felt the duty to "take a stance" and "shed light on what [some] pretend not to see".[5]
