Libera (English translation: "Free") was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, performed in Italian by Mia Martini.
The song is a ballad, with the singer describing herself as being "free" and listing a series of things she is free to do. Importantly, though, she tells her listeners that "I know well what I want, what I don't want/I have my pride, you don't even come into it/Find myself in love, but not bound to you/A woman who is used to walk on her own".
The song was performed fifteenth on the night (following Spain's Micky with Enséñame A Cantar and preceding Finland's Monica Aspelund with Lapponia). At the close of voting, it had received 33 points, placing 13th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1978 Contest by Ricchi e Poveri with Questo Amore.
