 In the Spring of 1968, she participated in Un disco per l'estate ("A Record for Summer"), a Summer song festival broadcast on RAI, with the song "Gente qua, gente là" ("People Here, People There"), the music for which was written by Bruno De Filippi, while the lyrics were written by her producer, Alberto Testa.Her third 45 featured "Mi piace quel ragazzo lì" ("I Like That Boy Over There"), whose text is dedicated to Adriano Celentano, with "Occhi negli occhi" ("Eyes Into Eyes") on the B-side, reutilized from the previous record.These discs, while still being influenced by certain "beat" sounds, presented evidence of Mannoia's vocal qualities, although they did not sell well.
