Background
One of the major hits of the band, it topped the Italian hit parade for 11 weeks.[1] The song was also an international success,[1][2] particularly in France, where the single sold over 500,000 copies.[3]
It has been described as "easy and low-key", enhanced by a "radio-friendly sound and the vocal acrobatics of Antonella Ruggiero, who here is particularly expressive and elegant".[2]
Other versions
In 2001, Ornella Vanoni covered the song in a bossa nova style for her album Un panino una birra e poi.[4]
