The Eurovision Song Contest 1990, the 35th in the series, was held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (now Croatia) on 5 May 1990. The presenters were Helga Vlahović and Oliver Mlakar. Toto Cutugno was the winner of this contest with the song "Insieme: 1992". This was the second and last victory for Italy, the first one having been Non ho l'età, performed by Gigliola Cinquetti in 1964's contest.
The lyrics of several entries celebrated the whirlwind of democratisation that had engulfed central and eastern Europe with bewildering speed in the preceding months, focusing especially on the iconic moment of the Berlin Wall being breached in November 1989. However, the winning song was an even more sweeping evocation of European unity, in anticipation of the completion of the European single market, due at the end of 1992.
There was a slightly uncomfortable beginning to the rehearsal week when, offended by press comments concerning their ages, the two presenters quit the show. They were briefly replaced by Rene Medvešek and Dubravka Marković, but the misunderstandings got sorted out quickly and Helga and Oliver returned to the contest.
A notorious mishap occurred at the start of the first song, when a mysteriously long delay caused by problems with the backing track was followed by the Spanish singers missing their cue as the song didn't start from the very beginning. They walked off the stage in barely concealed annoyance and the audience was left in confusion for a moment, but the song was then restarted without any further problems.
The contest was the first to feature an official mascot, called Eurocat.
