Salvatore Michael Sorrentino (born 7 April 1969), known professionally Sal Da Vinci, is an Italian singer and actor.
Of French descent on his mother’s side, Da Vinci was born in New York City as his father Mario Da Vinci, singer and performer of the Neapolitan skit, was engaged in a tour in the United States where he was joined by his mother. Da Vinci grew up in Naples, where he primarily lives, and has a repertoire of Neapolitan songs, like his father.
He first performed in front of a paying public when he was just six years old. In 1976, he made his debut in the world of music by recording, in duet with his father, the song Miracolo ‘e Natale by Alberto Sciotti and Tony Iglio, from which an homonymous skit was taken. In 1977, again together with his father, he made his theater debut with the plays Caro papà and Senza mamma e senza padre.
Da Vinci won the Festival Italiano in 1994 and took third place in the Sanremo Music Festival 2009.
On 30 November 2025, he was announced among the participants of the Sanremo Music Festival 2026. He is competing with the song “Per sempre sì”.
