On July 4, 2026, singer-songwriter Ultimo, stage name of Niccolo Moriconi, held a concert at the Tor Vergata area in Rome, gathering approximately 250,000 spectators. The event, titled La favola per sempre, became the largest paid concert by a single artist in Italian history, surpassing Vasco Rossi's Modena Park 2017 record of 225,000 attendees. Tickets went sold out in approximately three hours, a year in advance of the event. The concert area covered 150,000 square meters divided into six pit sections, each named after one of Ultimo's albums. Over 62 percent of attendees came from outside Rome, as reported by Alessandro Onorato, the city's Councillor for Major Events. Ultimo arrived at the venue by helicopter, landing near the backstage area. After about thirty minutes he took the stage. At 9:19 PM the screens displayed the phrase Beati gli ultimi perche saranno i primi, and the artist opened the set with the song Pianeti, followed by Il capolavoro and Sono pazzo di te. The show featured over forty songs, including pieces from the new album Il giorno che aspettavo, which had topped the FIMI chart for two weeks. The performance lasted more than three hours, with a setup that included a 140-meter-wide stage, sixty meters in height, thirty-four towers thirty-three meters tall, and approximately 2,500 square meters of LED screens. Fabrizio Moro performed as the opening act starting at 7:30 PM. Moro and Ultimo share a history dating back to May 26, 2017, when Moriconi had opened for the colleague at PalaLottomatica in Rome. The event was preceded by DJ sets with Radio Subasio at 2:00 PM and Radio Kiss Kiss at 4:00 PM. The concert's ticket revenue is estimated at approximately 16 million euros, based on an average price of 65 euros per ticket, with a total economic impact on the area estimated at around 90 million euros, according to Il Sole 24 Ore. Vasco Rossi publicly congratulated Ultimo, writing on social media that every record is meant to be broken and adding Largo ai giovani, e giusto cosi. From the stage Ultimo declared, This is not just a concert, it is the day I was waiting for, this is my fairy tale, this is the fairy tale forever. The following night, through a social media post, he stated that after the celebrations he had written the most important song of his life and expressed his intention to bring the show to cinemas. The event was organized by Vivo Concerti with the cooperation of the City of Rome, the Prefecture, the Questura, the University of Tor Vergata, and law enforcement. Approximately 10,000 workers and technicians were involved. The three metro lines remained open throughout the night, and about 1,000 local police operators were deployed. Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri called Ultimo a great artist and a son of Rome capable of speaking to an entire generation, while Vivo Concerti described the show as inclusive and accessible to all. According to Dagospia, reported by some media, there was an unexplained absence from the stage: Antonello Venditti, who had previously stated on the television program Domenica In that he had been invited to the event. This detail was not confirmed by other sources.
