"Al mio paese" (Italian: [al ˈmiːo paˈeːze, -eːse]; "In My Hometown") is a song co-written and recorded by Italian singers Serena Brancale, Levante and Delia, released on 3 April 2026 through Atlantic Records and Isola degli Artisti as the eighth single from Brancale's third studio album Sacro.[2]
Background
The song, written by all three singers together with Alessandro La Cava and Federica Abbate, is produced by Carlo Avarello and Manuel Finotti, known professionally as Gorbaciof.[3][4] Brancale explained that the song had been written with Levante prior to their participation in the 76th Sanremo Festival, with the songs "Qui con me" and "Sei tu" respectively.[5] In an interview with Il Fatto Quotidiano, Brancale explained her decision to collaborate with the artist and to also include Delia in the song:[6]
"I like sharing music with women who tell the story of their South in a different way. I left to fulfil my dream. Without getting too caught up in controversy or always looking for what’s wrong, I think there are some wonderful things in the South Italy and that everyone is doing their best to improve things. For me, my album is a celebration of all that. I mean, I'm an outsider and I say so, and I miss the South so much."
Critical reception
The song was received with positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and the decision to bring the three artists together.[1][4][7][8]
Music video
The music video, directed by Giacomo Triglia and produced by Oceancode Studio, was released to coincide with the track's release via Brancale's YouTube channel.[9]
