Conservatories, schools, bands and choirs throughout Italy have participated in the project to find what will be the anthem of Milano Cortina 2026, with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Universities and Research. Under the artistic direction of Maestro Peppe Vessicchio, the initiative whittled the selection down to two finalist songs.
The two songs that are going up against each other in the final to compete for the title of Milano Cortina 2026 anthem are entitled "Un po' più in là" and "Fino all'alba".
"Fino all'alba" was written by the "La Cittadina San Pietro Martire Di Seveso" youth music group from the province of Monza and Brianza. "Un po' più in là" was composed by students at the CPM Music Institute of Milan, a school founded and chaired by Franco Mussida.
Arisa sings "Fino all'alba" and Malia Ayane sings "Un po' più in là".
The songs can be listened to on the website, milanocortina2026.org

UNTIL THE DAWN
Song entered by the 'La Cittadina' music group from San Pietro Martire
He was a kid like us
Who had a dream up his sleeve
He wanted to be a hero
With no costume or cloak
He dreamt of touching the clouds
And flying with eagles
But all he could do was run
And keep on dreaming It's us, only us
There's no flag that can limit us
Don't turn around, keep on going
Until the dawn
Speed and the wind that is blowing
Don't turn around, keep on going
Until the dawn
Until the dawn
And the sky was clear
As if painted in pastels
And that kid was a hero
But with no mask and cloak
He came down hard like lightning
Among the mountains with the eagles
He had an irrepressible heart
And eyes full of emotion
CHORUS
If you only look, there is a world of superheroes
Kids from all over the world around us
In their eyes, time stops today
In their dream, there everything makes sense
CHORUS
UN PO’ PIU’ IN LA’
Song entered by the CPM Music Institute of Milan

Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
SUNG
Leaving is never enough,
it is only when you arrive
that you find out who you are.
You can fall at any moment...
stopping is easy.
Aiming higher, winning against another,
is not out of your reach!
Embrace that dream,
light that gleam knowing deep down that you can do it.
You just need to push a little further push a little further just push yourself a little further push a little further
Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
Uwo - uwo - uwo
The destination never changes
it's the sum of what you do in every moment
of the magical game that you have decided to play where all that counts is pushing your limit a little bit further.
Uwo - uwo - uwo
A little bit further
A little bit further
Bit by bit further
A little bit further
