For the first time in its history, the Cantagiro tour took place, in 1965, not only in Italy but also in Vienna ( Austria ), Frankfurt ( Germany ) London ( England ) and Moscow in Russia, called at the time “ The Soviet Republic “.
At the Gorky Park in Moscow, her success is particularly big among more then 10.000 cheering people and Rita is forced by the public to sing the same song another time, against the regulations and the will of a very rigid jury in order to allow the show to go on.
Big scandal !!! The day after, a two–column headline of the New York Times ( USA ) reports this unprecedented and most unusual event in a Communist country!
