Gigliola Cinquetti Essentials

When a 16-year-old Gigliola Cinquetti won the 1964 Eurovision Song Contest with her debut single “Non ho l'età' (Per amarti)”, she did so by the widest margin ever in the history of the competition. The ballad became a hit across Europe, kicking off a recording career that would span seven decades. While her golden era remains the ’60s and ’70s, with songs full of cinematic drama and winning choruses, Cinquetti’s later songs—1985’s “Chiamalo Amore” in particular—retain gorgeous, inviting warmth. Together, those eras combine for a captivating playlist about love, life and longing.
