Brunori Sas, Lucio Corsi, Emma Nolde, Federico Sirianni and … Piero Ciampi are the candidates for the Targa Tenco for the album of the year. It is only one of the cinquins of the Tenco 2025 finalists communicated today and which concern the music published from 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025 (that of Ciampi is a collection of unpublished).
The best of the five will be voted by the Tenco jury formed by journalists and professionals (here the names) from today until 4 July, giving rise to six winners, one per section (or more than one in the case of ex aequo).
The Tenco 2025 award will be held on 23, 24 and 25 October 2025 at the Ariston of Sanremo. On that occasion, the Tenco club will also award the prizes to the cultural operator and the Yorum prize established in collaboration with Amnesty International. Here are the cyquins of the finalists.
