Mango is the winner of the 2024 Sanremo Song Festival and was Italy’s representative at the recent Eurovision Song Contest.
The man from Mesola, near Ferrara, sent Mango letters and hundreds of messages and went to Sanremo to try to meet the 23-year-old in person.
He also stalked Mango’s mother, singer Laura Valente.
A judge had put him under house arrest in January following a complaint by the two women.
But the stalking continued, so the court decided to section him to a psychiatric hospital.
Mango, the daughter of singer-songwriter Giuseppe Mango who died at the age of 60 in 2014, won Sanremo with a pulsating track entitled La Noia (boredom).
