An autobiographical song about the importance of memories, the only ones able to reconnect us with the people who have entered our lives and left a mark, it represents a tribute to singer Alex Baroni, Giorgia's partner until his 2002 death from a motorcycle accident.[1] The song won the Nastro d'Argento award for Best Original Song,[2] and three Italian Music Awards for Best Single, Best Composition and Best Arrangement.[3]
