Together with them, she will perform several successful songs, especially at the beginning of her career, treading the Ariston stage several times on the occasion of the Sanremo Festival. The debut with the group actually takes place at Cantagiro 1968, with The Last Love. Two years later, the four are in fact for the first time in Sanremo, where they will come second for two years in a row, in the same 1970 and in 1971, respectively with the songs La prima cosa bella and Che Sara (the latter represents the most great success of the group as a quartet).
