4 questions · Music

At the Eurovision Song Contest 1964, Italy triumphed: Gigliola Cinquetti beat the assembled competition of Europe with the song “Non ho l’età” and lifted the coveted trophy. She won aged just 16, by the biggest margin of the early years. The ESC is the biggest music competition in the world and one of the longest-running television shows of all time; it has been held every single year since 1956. Each participating country sends one entry into the race, and at the end of the night juries and viewers cast their votes: the famous “points” (from one up to the legendary “twelve points”) decide victory or defeat. The contest is far more than just music: it is a colourful festival of nations, full of flamboyant costumes, big emotions and fans cheering in front of their screens. By tradition the winning country hosts the contest the following year before an audience of millions.
