Well, Alice may not want to remember this, but anyways it's part of her artistic path and she has come a long long way from this, her first Sanremo participation, still as Carla Bissi. Actually it was her return to Sanremo as already in 1965 she took part there to Festival international dei ragazzi at 11. In between she had won Castrocaro's festival for new voices in 1971 thus earning ticket to Sanremo 1972. Il mio cuore se ne va, written by Remo Memigi and Spiker, goes nowhere and is eliminated from the final 14. However the same year she has more luck in Venice winning Gondola d'argento with La festa mia. She has admitted the musical style offered for her wan't for her liking (or public's clearly) and luckily she went on to write her own songs in coming years and the rest is history. However there's a curious coincidence with the lyrics, "nata ieri"..... Ma il mio cuore se ne va Come fosse nato ieri Cerca un posto che non c'è But my heart goes ...
