Overview
"Attenti al lupo"'s original title was "La casina" ("The little house"). Ron originally wrote the song for his album Apri le tue braccia e poi vola, but he eventually discarded it as he felt it didn't fit in with the rest of the material.[1][2] When Ron invited Lucio Dalla to listen to a preview of his album, he also played him "Attenti al lupo". Dalla loved the song and asked Ron for his permission to record it.[1][2] "Attenti al lupo" was released as the first single from Dalla's album Cambio. Dalla premiered the song on the RAI TV show Fantastico.[2]
The music video, directed by Ambrogio Lo Giudice, is set in a circus. It features Dalla and vocalists Iskra Menarini and Carolina Balboni performing the song in front of an audience made of girls in school uniform.[1]
