Rome – Italian singer Rita Pavone has no plans to retire. In an interview, the artist said she loves being ahead of her time and fighting for what she believes in—and that she would compete in Sanremo again. The occasion was an award she received at a festival for TV series productions in the Adriatic region around Rimini and Riccione.
Rita Pavone admitted that thinking ahead had cost her dearly: Those who are ahead of their time touch on topics that others initially refuse to accept. At the same time, the joy of having achieved some goals earlier than others outweighs the difficulties. The singer looks back on her long career with serenity: Over more than six decades, she has sold over 50 million records worldwide.
Why Rita Pavone Wants to Return to Sanremo
Her drive to prove herself time and again brought her back to the stage of the Sanremo Festival in 2020, where she competed with the song „Niente (Resilienza, 74).“ She expressed her gratitude to the festival director at the time, who brought her back after 38 years—something she emphasized she would never forget.
Rita Pavone is one of the pioneers of Italian pop music. She made her breakthrough as a teenager; since then, her name has come to symbolize a career that has continually reinvented itself.
