Pausini performed for the first time on February 23, 1993, during the first semi-final of the contest. After receiving the final, held on 27 February 1993, he won the competition, receiving 7,464 votes from the jury and defeating Gerardina Trovato with "Ma non ho più la mia città", who finished second with 7,209 votes.
