The Fondazione Donald De Sanctis awards Masamasa, runner-up in the Special Stage

We are delighted to have awarded the runner-up prize in the 2025 edition of Officine Buone's Special Stage to Masamasa: an artist who has distinguished himself through his authenticity, dedication, and sensitivity, capable of speaking directly and sincerely to his audience.

His music recounts reality with depth and transparency, highlighting talents who, like him, choose to put themselves out there with courage and consistency. His journey reminds us that, even when “nobody wants to be Robin,” there are young people capable of following their own path, growing artistically, and continuing to work with perseverance and commitment.

Why the Foundation supports this talent

The Fondazione Donald De Sanctis strongly believes in the transformative power of culture and in the value of young people who invest in their talent. Rewarding Masamasa means supporting a journey that is not limited to artistic expression, but reflects a broader vision: that of a generation that is committed, evolving, and building its own future through creativity and responsibility.

Promoting initiatives such as Special Stage and supporting those who participate in them is a concrete way for the Foundation to value commitment, personal research, and artistic growth.

Encouragement for the future

We offer our heartfelt congratulations to Masamasa: this achievement is just the beginning of a promising journey.

Continue to believe in your music, your talent, and your path.
We are right there with you.
