10-year old Dariya Stoyanova’s splendid performance of the song Ciao Europe was in the lead in the temporary standings of the children’s music festival Zecchino d'oro (Golden Coin) in Bologna, Italy.

The idea of the Golden Coin is for the winner to be the whole festival. Being most fluent in the Italian language, Dariya was asked what the song Ciao Europe, which she sings with Eliza from Albania and Alexandros from Greece is about. Here is what she said: “In practice, it is about the entire planet, the whole Earth, and about peace.” Together with Eliza and Alexandros, Dariya is Golden Coin ambassador at schools in the world. Nine-year old Salvatore from Naples won the 66th edition of the festival with the song We Will Never Fall for That, a song about being careful when we use the internet and new technologies, BNR’s correspondent in Italy Elena Shahanova reports.
