"Rapsodia" (English translation: "Rhapsody") is an Italian song. It was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, performed in Italian by Mia Martini.
The song is a ballad, in which Martini sings about two "old lovers" who meet each other in a bar and rekindle their romance. She sings that they "leave their families, betray their friends/They don't want advice about how to be happy" as part of their quest for "another youth". The entire situation is described as "this immense and hopeless rhapsody".
The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Denmark's Kenny Lübcke & Lotte Nilsson with "Alt Det Som Ingen Ser" and preceding Yugoslavia's "Extra Nena" with Ljubim Te Pesmama). At the close of voting, it had received 111 points, placing 4th in a field of 23.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1993 Contest by Enrico Ruggeri with "Sole d'Europa".
