On the night of the final Power and Al Bano performed 13th in the running order , following Spain and preceding Austria . Under the free-language rule in operation at the time , Power sung her sections of the song in English &ndash; the only time English would ever be heard in an Italian entry until " Follia d'amore " ( or " Madness of Love " in English ) in Eurovision Song Contest 2011 . The performance from the couple was poor , with Power 's limitations as a live singer very apparent and matters not being helped when Al Bano forgot his opening lines , which he mumbled rather than sang . At the close of voting , " We 'll Live It All Again " had received 69 points ( including a maximum 12 from Ireland ) , placing Italy 7th of the 18 entries . The Italian jury awarded its 12 points to Ireland &ndash; the 12 points exchange between the two was noted as an oddity , as neither country had received a maximum vote from any other jury . The 1976 contest was a two-horse race with winners the United Kingdom and runners-up France finishing out of sight of the rest of the field , and it was also spotted that Italy and Ireland were the only two countries who did not award a 12 or a 10 to either the UK or France
