San Remo Festival - Day Three

SAN REMO, ITALY - MARCH 3: Argentinan singer Lola Ponce performs at the third day of the San Remo Festival at the Ariston Theatre on March 3, 2005 in San Remo, Italy. The five day singing competition, organized by Rai Television, hosted Tina Turner, Peter Gabriel, and Andrea Boccelli in the past. Last year's festival was shrouded in controversy, when Tony Renis, a close friend of Silvio Berlusconi, who was recently appointed as artistic director of the festival, was reported to have close links to the Mafia. An alternative festival, the Mantova Musica Festival, was organized in protest at his appointment. (Photo by Giuseppe Cacace/Getty Images)
