Background

Conception

"Non ho l'età" was written by composer Mario Panzeri and lyricist Nicola Salerno.[1]

Sanremo

Between 30 January and 1 February 1964, "Non ho l'età" performed by both Gigliola Cinquetti –in Italian– and Patricia Carli –in French– competed in the 14th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, winning the competition. As the festival was used by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI) to select their song and performer for the Template:Escyr of the Eurovision Song Contest, the song became the Template:Esccnty, and Cinquetti the performer, for Eurovision.[2]

Cinquetti recorded the song in Italian, English –as "This is my prayer"–, Spanish –"No tengo edad"–, French –"Je suis à toi"–, German –"Luna nel blu"–, and Japanese –"Yumemiru omoi", Script error: No such module "Lang".–.[1]

Eurovision

On 21 March 1964, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Script error: No such module "Lang". in Copenhagen hosted by Script error: No such module "Lang".

Cinquetti performed "Non ho l'età" twelfth on the night, following Template:Esccnty's "Oração" by António Calvário and preceding Template:Esccnty's "Život je sklopio krug" by Sabahudin Kurt. Gianfranco Monaldi conducted the live orchestra in the performance of the Italian entry.[3] No video recording of her performance is known to have survived, only footage of part of her winning reprise exists in addition to the audio of the full radio broadcast.[4]

At the close of voting, the song had received 49 points, placing it first in a field of sixteen, winning the contest.[5] Cinquetti was sixteen years old, making her the youngest Eurovision winner until the Template:Escyr when Template:Esccnty's Sandra Kim won the contest with "J'aime la vie" –initially claiming to be fifteen, it was later revealed that Kim was only thirteen–.[6] The song was followed as contest winner in Template:Escyr by "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" by France Gall for Template:Esccnty. It was followed as Italian representative that year by "Se piangi, se ridi" by Bobby Solo.

Aftermath

"Non ho l'età" became a considerable commercial success for Cinquetti, in Italy, the rest of Europe, Scandinavia, and other countries worldwide.

Cinquetti later returned to compete in Eurovision at the Template:Escyr, when she finished second with "Sì", behind "Waterloo" by ABBA.[7] On 4 May 1991, she co-hosted the Template:Escyr held in Rome alongside Toto Cutugno, where they performed their Eurovision winning songs, "Non ho l'età" and "Insieme: 1992" respectively, as the opening act.[8] On 14 May 2022, in the Template:Escyr held in Turin, she performed "Non ho l'età" as an interval act at the grand final.[9]

Cinquetti was proved not to be a UK 'one-hit-wonder' when an English recording of her 1974 Eurovision entry –titled "Go"– reached #8 in the UK chart.
