Ultimo is the pseudonym adopted by Italian singer-songwriter Niccolò Moriconi, and we first met him at the 2018 Sanremo Festival, where he appeared in the Newcomers section, where he won . But what do we really know about him? Let's get to know him better.
Origins of Last and real name
Ultimo , registered as Niccolò Moriconi, was born in 1996, more precisely on January 27th in Rome, and is under the zodiac sign of Aquarius.
Family and relationship with parents and siblings
Ultimo's parents , Anna Sanseverino and Sandro Moriconi, separated when Niccolò was just 4 years old. Their separation was deeply felt not only by the boy, but also by his brothers Alessandro and Valerio.
The three children grow up with their mother and together they create a very close and solid relationship. They have a normal relationship with their father, even though they don't see or hear from each other much.
Qualifications and problems at school. Mom's solution
Finally, due to his parents' separation, he's been having a lot of trouble at school since elementary school. In particular, he doesn't seem to be very focused, and his grades are barely above average.
So, when he was just 8 years old, his mother decided to enroll him in piano lessons , a discipline that required concentration and study. Initially, little Niccolò experienced it as a punishment and an imposition from his parent, but eventually he rediscovered a world that made him feel good and that he considered a refuge.
In fact, he chose the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in his hometown as his next major and graduated with excellent results. From that moment on, he began composing his first songs.
Work and career
After graduating from the Conservatory, Ultimo began composing his first songs, and his career in the music world effectively began in 2013. But let's look at it in more detail.
Where does his artist name come from?
Many wonder where his stage name comes from , and the choice stems from a deep sense of unease, especially when he was young. He's explained on many occasions that he chose this pseudonym because he always felt like he was the least important person compared to everyone else.
Even though things have changed, Niccolò has chosen to continue to bear this name to remember the past, but with a different view of the future.
The debut in the world of music
Ultimo's real career began in 2013 when he participated in the Una voce per il Sud competition, which he won . On that occasion, he performed the song "Regalami un sorriso, " which he dedicated to the children hospitalized at the Bambin Gesù hospital in the capital.
In 2014, he continued to perform his music at various events, mostly local festivals, including Spaghetti Unplugged . In 2016, he took the stage at the One Shot Game singing competition in Milan and used the name Ultimo to introduce himself for the first time.
The event was also attended by many members of Honorino Label, who noticed him and decided to produce a few albums with him. His first masterpiece , Pianeti , was released in 2017. From that moment on, he began to experience the thrill of being someone, so much so that he reached fifth place in the Italian music charts.
In the same year he opened the concert of a very dear friend of his, Fabrizio Moro, and appeared at Sanremo Giovani 2018 where he competed with the song Il ballo delle incertezze and emerged victorious.
The exclusion from two famous talent shows
Ultimo started out completely out of nowhere, but his professionalism and voice were incredible right from the start. In 2012, he auditioned for Maria De Filippi's talent show, Amici , and in 2014, for XFactor . It's worth noting that he was rejected from both programs without giving him the opportunity to showcase his talent to its fullest.
Sanremo 2019
After his huge success at Sanremo 2018, Ultimo performed again the following year, this time in the Big category. This time, he performed a beautiful song that earned him second place. It's " I tuoi particolari ," and it's included on his third album, Colpa delle favole.
After Italy's most famous singing competition, she began her tours , each time achieving incredible sell-out numbers. Her last concert was at the Olympic Stadium in her hometown, drawing approximately 64 people.

His first song, titled " Chievo ," was a true cry of panic about the future. Moreover, the song's title is also one of the singer-songwriter's many tattoos.
Private life
Despite his young age, Ultimo has had two significant relationships , one ended and the other ongoing. His ex-girlfriend is Federica Lelli and his current one is none other than Heather Parisi's daughter, Jaqueline.
His story with Federica Lelli
Federica Lelli was Ultimo's girlfriend for many years. The girl he talks about in his songs is mostly her. Their relationship ended in 2018 when she could no longer cope with his frenetic career schedule. From then on, Ultimo tried every means to win her back, as he was deeply in love with her.
He writes melancholic and nostalgic songs and tries to make her understand that she is his true love . The two get back together in the summer of 2019, and she even accompanies him to the concert at the Olympic Stadium, but by early 2020, they're no longer heard from. They break up for good.
