Marianne is a national symbol of the French Republic, an allegory of liberty and reason, and a portrayal of the Goddess of Liberty.
Marianne is displayed in many places in France and holds a place of honour in town halls and law courts. She symbolizes the "Triumph of the Republic", a bronze sculpture overlooking the Place de la Nation in Paris. Her profile stands out on the official government logo of the country, is engraved on French euro coins and appears on French postage stamps; it also was featured on the former franc currency. Marianne is one of the most prominent symbols of the French Republic, and is officially used on most government documents.
Marianne is a significant republican symbol, opposed to monarchy, and an icon of freedom and democracy against all forms of dictatorship. Other national symbols of France include the tricolor flag, the national motto Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité, the national anthem La Marseillaise, as well as the coat of arms and the official Great Seal of France.
"Marianne" was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968, performed in Italian by Sergio Endrigo.
The song is a ballad, with Endrigo expressing his love for the title character. He sings, however, that she never stays with him, and he wonders about what she is doing. Nonetheless, his feelings for her remain unaltered.
The song was performed eleventh on the night (following France's Isabelle Aubret with " La source" and preceding the United Kingdom's Cliff Richard with " Congratulations)". At the close of voting, it had received 7 points, placing it 10th in a field of 17.
Following the Contest, it was rewritten in English by Mike Sammes and Bill Owen for Cliff Richard to perform. Richard recorded a minor hit with his rendition of the song.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1969 Contest by Iva Zanicchi with " Due grosse lacrime bianche".
