Where does the “Bocelli’s White Horse” meme come from?

At the final on 28 February 2026, Andrea Bocelli arrived on Caudillo, a white Lusitano stallion. Carlo Conti accompanied him into the foyer and then on stage, to the music from the film Gladiator. The press compared the entrance with Roberto Benigni’s in 2011 for the 150th anniversary of Italian unity. A picture of the horse leaving a souvenir on the blue carpet also circulated. Bocelli then sang « Il mare calmo della sera » and « Con te partirò ».
