1966 FESTIVAL DI SANREMO Caterina Caselli Nessuno mi può giudicare
Of course, it’s an artifact from the beat period in Italian music of the '60s, but there’s no denying that one of the best proposals of the time was indeed Caterina Caselli. Making her debut at the Sanremo festival in 1966, she appeared very innovative by singing about a woman who was anything but submissive and traditional. No wonder she sings that "no one can judge me, not even you," clearly distancing herself from the type of woman who, just two years earlier with Gigliola Cinquetti, was portrayed as trembling because she candidly admitted "I’m not old enough to love you." The latter was a true sexophobic, while Caterina was a spirited girl who took on the risks associated with her choices. It’s as if to say that even in Italy, a Catholic country, something was changing.
