RITA PAVONE WINS THE " CANTAGIRO “ – Edition 1965
“LUI “, composed by the “ future Oscar Award “ Luis Enriquez Bacalov with lyrics by Franco Migliacci, wins the “ CANTAGIRO “ - the famous Italian travelling contest -, followed by “ Se non avessi più te “ sung by Gianni Morandi, Rita’s eternal friend and rival.
For the first time in its history, the Cantagiro tour took place, in 1965,
