Anna Oxa would have made a comeback to Eurovision ten years after Avrei voluto with Senza pietá, one of the finest songs she has recorded the past 20 years or so (yes, I do think she has lost it!) Back in 1989 she declared she wanted to win Sanremo just to do Eurovision so I would think she would have said yes to it also in 1999. Antonella Ruggiero was the runner up for the second year running with Non ti dimentico (se non ci fossero le nuvole). Albano was back with Ancora in volo (6th) but one of the most interesting songs and singers was Marina Rei with Un inverno da baciare. Otherwise rather forgettable year but the newcomers had a lot of interesting names: Alex Britti, Filippa Giordano, Leda Battisti, Daniele Groff and Max Gazzé.
