The first controversy among the singers at the Sanremo Music Festival is tied to Elettra Lamborghini. Although the performances at the Ariston Theater went smoothly, the return to her hotel late at night was less than pleasant for her. After her debut performance, Elettra faced issues with loud music echoing through the streets of Sanremo, directly outside her hotel room, driving her to vent her frustrations on social media.

Elettra returned to her hotel around 1 AM, hoping to unwind after the anxieties of her performance at the Ariston. However, she was met with a lively party atmosphere in the streets, making it impossible for her to get the rest she desired. Unable to sleep due to the excessive noise, she recorded a video at 3 AM and shared it on her Instagram Stories, sparking a heated discussion among her followers and the public about the nightlife in Sanremo during the festival.

In the video, she urged people to lower the volume at the parties, showing her exhaustion and disappointment. This incident highlights not only the pressures and expectations placed on performers during significant events like the Sanremo Festival but also the clash between public celebrations and the need for personal downtime in a festive environment. The ensuing debate may affect the festival's perception, particularly regarding how it accommodates artists during intense performance schedules.
