The song is in the Tuscanstornelli [it] style, with Raimondi singing about the joy of Spring (described as "a festival of love") beginning and her desire to open the windows to let the new season in.[1][2]
At Eurovision
The song was performed seventh on the night, following Luxembourg's Michèle Arnaud with "Ne crois pas" and preceding the Netherlands' Corry Brokken with "Voorgoed voorbij". Points and final placings at this Contest have never been revealed, meaning that the only statement which can be made about the song's final position was that it did not win.[3][4][5][6]
