Riccardo Fogli won the 1982 edition of Sanremo with Storie di tutti i giorni and even if he missed the chance that year he would be called in to replace the 1983 winner Tiziana Rivale and Sará quel che sará in the last minute in Eurovision. Tiziana was caught in some sort of "buying the votes" situation in Sanremo and Riccardo was already in Germany to record his new album so... or so the story goes! Albano e Romina Power were the runners up with Felicitá and considering its success abroad it would have been a good choise as well. Mia Martini didn't make the top-3 with her now evergreen E non finisce mica il cielo. I think Riccardo would have done better with this one than with Per Lucia a year later, even if I like them both.
And thinking these three songs, Per Elisa, Storie di tutti i giorni and Sará quel che sará - they would have really added something different to Eurovision, don't you agree?
