about
Nicolò Festa is 21 year old student from Treviso, Italy. He is the son of Michele Festa, deputy commissioner of the police flying squad in Verona, who apprehended notorious Mafia boss Felice Maniero after his 1994 escape from prison. He studied Languages at Ca' Foscari University of Venice and then moved to London a few months before applying for The X Factor in 2010. His father said his son's dream is to remain living there. He auditioned with "A Song for You" from Leon Russell after which Louis Walsh called him "a diva in making". David Bowie's Life on Mars? was his bootcamp song. He told Minogue that his fame was "inevitable" before performing "New York" by Paloma Faith in the judges' houses stage and qualifying.
