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 fiftythree 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).
