My song and the reason of my choice:

There is a whole story behind this song. I discovered it in 2001 thanks to an advertising for Barilla on French TV. At this time, Giorgia was completely unknown in France (that is still the case by the way) and she just acquired notoriety in Italy by finishing runner-up of Sanremo with Di sole e d'azzurro. I was already interested by Italian music at this time, and I had listened to the album of Laura Pausini's greatest hits numerous times (she sold 1M of it in France - more than in Italy), but I wasn't imagining that there were Italian artists so talented and completely unknown in France. So I made a research on Google in order to identify the song and the singer, and it was the beginning of a long series of discoveries in Italy (Giorgia, Elisa, Valeria Rossi..) then in other countries (BoA, Doro, Sarah Brightman...). That was far before this forum was created, far before any YouTube contest was created, far before YouTube even existed. If I hadn't been stunned by this song that day, maybe I would still not be aware of the extraordinary variety and quantity of talented artists all over the world. My level of "italianisation" would also probably be different today, because I would have spent less time discovering Italian culture. So I can say with no possible doubt that this song has had the biggest influence on my entire life.
