Måneskin ( Danish for moonlight) is an Italian rock band formed in Rome in 2016. The group's line-up comprises Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio. Performing in the streets in their early days, the band rose to prominence after finishing second in the eleventh season of the Italian talent show X Factor in 2017, and international prominence when they won the Sanremo Music Festival 2021 and the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 – as the Italian representatives in the latter – with the song "Zitti e buoni".
Having released two studio albums Il ballo della vita (2018) and Teatro d'ira: Vol. I (2021), one extended-play, and nine singles, they have topped the Italian and European music charts on various occasions, and collected 23 platinum and six gold certifications from FIMI, selling over one million records in Italy before their post-Eurovision breakthrough. In 2021, Måneskin became the first Italian band to reach top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, and their singles "Zitti e buoni" and "I Wanna Be Your Slave" also reached top 10 on the Billboard Global 200 Excl. U.S. chart.
