Occhi di ragazza
The ballad was initially chosen by singer Ron to be presented at the 1970 Sanremo Music Festival, but was rejected by the Selection Jury.[2] The song was performed third on the night, following Switzerland's Henri Dès with "Retour" and preceding Yugoslavia's Eva Sršen with "Pridi, dala ti bom cvet".It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1971 contest by Massimo Ranieri with "L'amore è un attimo".Cover versions of the song include those by Lucio Dalla, Ron and Ornella Vanoni.[1] An English version of the song titled "Eyes of a Child" was recorded by the Italo-Australian performer Tony Pantano, while Laila Nyström [sv] recorded a Swedish version of the song titled "Någonting att minnas".
