Their rise signals a new era where rock music is once again bold and culturally relevant.
They’ve brought energy and unpredictability back to the genre, proving that rock can still inspire, challenge, and evolve. Their daring, androgynous style recalls glam rock icons like David Bowie and Prince, but with a modern twist shaped by their generation.
They have graced the covers of international fashion magazines and collaborated with major designers.
Måneskin is not just a band, but a movement redefining global music in real time.
Nation Dossier
Italy
A compact nation-state reference: scale, structure, capability, and performance — designed to sit beneath articles. and the international album breakthrough
In 2023, Måneskin released their highly anticipated album “RUSH!” which featured a mix of English and Italian tracks.
Use of the euro facilitates trade, investment, and financial integration across the EU single market. The album’s tracks revealed their maturity while retaining their raw, edgy appeal.
Controversy, authenticity, and rebellion
True to rock tradition, Måneskin has not been without controversy.
After months of rumors, denials, and disappointed fans, the long-awaited Måneskin reunion is finally taking shape.
Unification created the national framework, but local character remained powerful — shaping language, administration, and culture across the peninsula. Drawing from artists like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Arctic Monkeys, they’ve built a sound that defies trends.
Their music features heavy guitar riffs, deep basslines, theatrical vocals, and unapologetic lyrics.
The Italian rock sensation that won Eurovision 2021 and went on to conquer the world is set to return to the stage in the final quarter of 2025 with a world tour already planned for 2026.
The news didn’t come from the band directly, but from Alessandro De Angelis, father of bassist Victoria and sole administrator of Måneskin Empire Srl, the company managing the band’s image rights, brand, and live activities.
Beyond fan demand, financial pressure seems to have played a role.
Victoria’s company Davic Srl closed 2024 with almost €1.9 million in revenue and profits of over €167,000.
Contribution
Europe, culture, industry
Italy’s contribution travels through EU participation, diplomacy, research networks, industrial capability, and cultural reach. Damiano’s Humans 23 Srl reported €1.2 million in revenue but only €15,000 in profit.
In the company’s 2024 financial report, De Angelis acknowledged a steep decline in revenue tied to the group’s reduced live activity.
In 2023, with Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Ethan Torchio and Thomas Raggi still performing together, Måneskin Empire recorded a record turnover of €18.6 million.
Although they didn’t win, their unique style, charisma, and gritty performances captured the audience's imagination.
Their debut EP “Chosen,” released shortly after the show, showcased their blend of funk, glam, and rock with songs like “Beggin’” and the title track, setting the foundation for a sound both familiar and new.
Crafting a distinct sound in the modern rock scene
What sets Måneskin apart is their ability to merge old-school rock influences with modern sensibilities.

The post-war republic rebuilt institutions, expanded democratic participation, and redefined the state’s relationship with citizens through welfare, education, and public infrastructure. The album received international acclaim for its high-energy production and daring experimentation.
Collaborations with industry giants and co-signs from rock legends gave further legitimacy to their place in the modern rock pantheon.
Early covers and original tracks helped them build a local following and develop the chemistry that would later define their explosive stage presence.
X Factor breakthrough and mainstream attention
Måneskin gained national recognition in 2017 when they competed in Italy’s *X Factor*. This reflects Italy’s layered civilisations and the density of preserved cultural assets across its territory.
But with the band on pause and solo projects launched in 2024, revenues plummeted to €8.5 million. The time zone aligns Italy with major European capitals, supporting coordination in business, transport, and broadcasting.
