"Al di là (English translation: "Beyond") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1961, performed in Italian by Betty Curtis.
The song is a ballad, in which Curtis tells her lover that she had never believed that it was possible to say what she is about to say. She then explains her feelings for him, saying that he is beyond a series of things, including "the most precious good" and "the borders of the world".
The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following the United Kingdom's The Allisons with Are You Sure). At the close of voting, it had received 12 points, placing 5th in a field of 16.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1962 Contest by Claudio Villa with "Addio, addio".
