"Fiume azzurro" (English: "Blue river") is a song recorded by Italian singer Mina for her studio album Cinquemilaquarantatre in 1972. It was written by Luigi Albertelli and Enrico Riccardi, arranged and produced by Pino Presti.[1]
The song was first performed in one of the episodes of Teatro 10 (the lyrics were slightly different from the album version), then it was repeated in another episodes. The song was also released as a promotional jukebox single, more precisely as a split, where the second side featured a song "Logan Dwight" by Logan Dwight. Mina also chose the song to be performed at the night club La Bussola on 16 September 1972, when the live album Dalla Bussola was recorded.[3] Later a promotional video for Tassoni lemonade for the TV show Carosello was also shot using the composition.[4]
