Nannini celebrated her international accomplishments in 1982 at the legendary “Rockpalast” Essen, the television concert broadcast across Europe.
At the 1990 FIFA World Cup in her country, she sang the football anthem “Un’estate italiana” (“Italian Summer”) with Eduardo Pinato, making it number two on the charts in Germany.
