Contents

"Rose su rose" was also chosen as the theme song for 34th Italian Song Festival. Gianni Ravera, the artistic director, told about this at a press conference dedicated to the organization of the festival in early 1984. This choice was sharply criticized by the press of that time, [5] since Mina had been absent from the stage for six years, and more than twenty years ago she swore that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Sanremo.
