At the age of 16 she won the San Remo Music Festival in 1964 singing " Non Ho L'età " (I'm not old enough), with music composed by Nicola Salerno and lyrics by Mario Panzeri . Her victory enabled her to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 1964 with the same song, and she went on to claim her country's first-ever victory in the event and achieve the first UK Top 20 hit with a non-English-language Eurovision song. In 1966 , she recorded " Dio, Come Ti Amo " (God, how I love you), which became a world-wide hit. In 1974 , she returned to the contest, again representing Italy, and finished second behind Sweden 's ABBA with the song " Sì " (Yes), the music and lyrics of which were written by Mario Panzeri, Daniele Pace , Lorenzo Pilat , and Carrado Conti . When translated into English as "Go", this song reached the UK Top 10. Gigliola went on to co-host the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 with Toto Cutugno , who had brought the event to Italy with his victory in Zagreb the previous year - the country's first win in the contest since her own twenty-six years earlier.
