"I giorni dell'arcobaleno" (English translation: "The Days Of The Rainbow") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1972, performed in Italian by Nicola di Bari.
The song is a ballad, with di Bari singing to a woman about her childhood and the simple pleasures she experienced then, including their romance. He sings that it was this event which matured her and made her ready to face the rest of the world.
The song was performed twelfth on the night (following Austria's Milestones with Falter im Wind and preceding Yugoslavia's Tereza with Muzika I Ti). At the close of voting, it had received 92 points, placing 6th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1973 Contest by Massimo Ranieri with "Chi sarà".
