Milan confirms itself as the Italian capital of music by hosting Billboard Italia Women in Music next week.

Billboard’s iconic awards ceremony will be held Monday (Sept. 16) at Teatro Manzoni, one of the cultural symbols of the city. The event is the first local edition of the Billboard format in Europe.

The Woman of the Year award goes to Anna, the rapper who was the most-listened-to female artist in Italy in 2023 and recently stayed atop the Italian albums chart for nine consecutive weeks with her debut album Vera Baddie.

Billboard Italia Women in Music will be introduced by the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, and hosted by two champions of Italian cinema and television: Cristiana Capotondi and Maurizio Lastrico. They will introduce the honorees and welcome the guests, who will get hit the stage with special performances.

“I’m so happy to celebrate Italy’s Women in Music in the beautiful city of Milan,” said Billboard Editorial Director Hannah Karp. “Thank you Billboard Italy for making this night possible and bringing this very special event to Europe for the first time ever.”

Tommaso Toma and Silvia Danielli, editor-in-chief and co-editor-in-chief of Billboard Italia, respectively, commented: “Our editorial team has highlighted how the presence of women in the music industry has increased in all its sectors. But it is still not enough: the road is long for women to occupy positions of responsibility and the top places in the charts in an equal proportion. What we really want is for Billboard Italia Women in Music to be a celebration of all the women who work in the scene, not just the award winners who will take the stage, remembering that there is still a lot to do on everyone’s part to achieve equality.”
