In 1980, Cutugno returned to the Sanremo Music Festival and won the competition with the song "" ("Only us"). However, Cutugno's affiliation with the festival is mostly remembered for "" ("The Italian"), a song he presented in 1983. Originally intended for Adriano Celentano – who declined to sing it because, despite liking the song, he did not feel comfortable singing the refrain  ("I am a true Italian") – ""'s recapitulation of some of Italy's most popular social traits made the song very popular with Italian expats. Although the song finished only fifth in Sanremo, it went on to become Cutugno's biggest international hit. Cutugno would finish second in six more editions of the Sanremo festival: in 1984 with the song "" ("Serenade"); in 1987 with "" ("Children"); in 1988 with "" ("Emotions"); in 1989 with the song "" ("Mothers"); in 1990 with the song "" ("Loves", but entitled "Good Love Gone Bad" in Ray Charles's version); and in 2005 with Annalisa Minetti with the song "" ("No one else in the world like us"); a record which would lead him to be nicknamed "the eternal second" (). Cutugno shares the record for the highest number of participations in the festival – 15, namely in 1976, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1997, 2005, 2008, and 2010; one of only five artists (), the others being Al Bano, Anna Oxa, Milva and Peppino di Capri. In 2013, Cutugno was awarded a lifetime career award at the Sanremo Festival.
