Questo Amore (English translation: "This Love") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in Italian by Ricchi e Poveri.
The song is in praise of the love the singers have for each other (they take the roles of lovers in the song). It is described as a very powerful force and one which everyone enjoys experiencing.
The song was performed third on the night (following Norway's Jahn Teigen with Mil Etter Mil and preceding Finland's Seija Simola with Anna Rakkaudelle Tilaisuus). At the close of voting, it had received 53 points, placing 12th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1979 Contest by Matia Bazar with Raggio Di Luna.
