The inspiration for the song came from Migliacci and his combined memories of two Marc Chagall paintings and himself painted blue with the ability to fly.
As the story goes, Migliacci and Modugno had planned a trip to the beach together. While Migliacci was waiting for Modugno, Migliacci was drinking wine and then fell asleep. Suddenly the lyrics about a man who dreams of being blue while flying in the sky just came to him. The song would go on to be submitted as an entry in the Sanremo Music Festival in Italy. The Sanremo Music Festival is the contest which inspired Eurovision itself. The song was then chosen by a jury of with drawn from the public of the Sanremo Casino as one of the ten nightly selected finalist songs.
Their performances did exceptionally well, ultimately winning the contest. Modugno would go on to compete at twelve editions of Sanremo, winning the trophy on four occasions and coming in second place three further times. Modugno was the first to sing on the night, with Englishman Alberto Semprini as the conductor. Unfortunately, due to technical problems, his performance was missed by the audience in certain viewing countries.
After everyone had finished performing, Domenico Modugno was given the opportunity to perform his song again. That is a beautiful song, and sung by so many different people. I love volare!

Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me. Volare, oh oh cantare, oh oh oh oh. Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle… Ritornello 2 Volare, oh oh cantare, oh oh oh oh. Chorus 1 Volare, oh oh, sing, oh oh oh oh. But I keep on dreaming in your beautiful eyes That are blue like a sky dotted quilted with stars … Chorus 2 Volare, oh oh sing, oh oh oh oh. I continue to fly happy higher than the sun and even higher as the world slowly disappears in your blue eyes Your voice is a sweet music playing for me Volare, oh oh sing, oh oh oh oh.
