The song is a ballad, with Fogli singing about the lengths he wants to go to in order to impress Lucia, his lover. He claims at one point, for example, that he wants to make a feast for the entire country.
The song was performed fifth on the night, following Sweden's Carola Häggkvist with "Främling" and preceding Turkey's Çetin Alp & The Short Waves with "Opera". At the close of voting, it had received 41 points, placing 11th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1984 contest by Alice & Battiato with "I treni di Tozeur".
Fogli also recorded an English-language version of the song, titled "For Lucia", which was released as a promo single.[1]
