Nadina - Vola Vola

November 22, 1986, Bologne, Italy: Nadina, a 6 years old from Lebanon, was at the Antoniano dei Frati Minori performing at the 29th Zecchino D’oro festival held by UNICEF. As the first child in history to participate from the Arab countries, she was to perform ’Vola Vola Palombella!’ (Fly Bird of Peace) accompanied by a choir consisting of fifty-three kids directed by Maestro Mariele Ventre. That day, she made a lasting impression because of her outstanding performance that led her to win the ’La Targa G’Doro’ (Giornalino - Gold Medal).
