The Zecchino d'Oro [dzekˈkiːno ˈdɔːro] (in German roughly ' gold coin ') is an international children's song festival founded in 1959 , which to this day takes place annually in Bologna ( Italy ) and is broadcast on radio and television .

Emergence

The songs of the Zecchino d'Oro, which promote love and peace in the family and in the world, are performed by children between the ages of four and eleven. The young soloists are supported by the famous Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano , who was declared the official UNICEF ambassador of goodwill in 2003 . In the meantime, the Zecchino d'Oro has become an integral part of Italian tradition and a cultural asset of generations since the 1960s and was awarded by UNESCO in 2008 as part of the Culture of Peace .

While participation in the Zecchino d'Oro was initially reserved for Italian children, children from all over the world have been taking part since 1976, expanding the musical and poetic spectrum of the songs. All income goes to international, charitable projects such as schools , hospitals, etc. - since 1991 as part of the Fiore della solidarietà project (German: 'Flower of Solidarity'). The Zecchino d'Oro is organized and produced by the Institute of Antoniano dei Frati Minori from Bologna, a non-profit institution founded by Franciscan monks .

The Zecchino d'Oro promotes the creation of children's songs through the engagement of mostly well-known authors and composers in the music business . In the context of the event, it is always expressly pointed out that the competitive winning of the prizes ( Zecchino d'Oro, Zecchino d'Argento, ...) is not the responsibility of the interpreting children, but the authors and composers. This rule has been followed since the first event in 1959.

A special case, however, was the then seven-year-old Yumiko Ashikawa (芦 川祐 美 子), who was both the author and performer of the song La Pioggia (あ め) at the 40th Zecchino d'Oro in 1997 .
