 Success was confirmed with the incredible victory at the Castrocaro Festival in '72 and the consequent participation in Sanremo, a festival that countries like Sri Lanka and Trinidad & Tobago envy us, being one of the few "real" global competitions capable of launching great authors onto the world stage.
