Background
The song, a portrait of the Italian post-war and of the ordinary life in the Po Valley countryside of the time, is dedicated to Diamante Arduini Fornaciari, the grandmother of the singer.[1][2][3] Zucchero asked his friend De Gregori to write the lyrics as he feared to be overly involved, and to compose something corny.[3]
A track of the 1989 album Oro Incenso & Birra, the song was first released as a single in 1990, and was re-released in 1991 in an English-language duet version with Randy Crawford,[4] which was included on Crawford's 1992 album Through the Eyes of Love. In 1994, Zucchero recorded a Spanish-language version of the song, with lyrics translated and adapted by Fito Páez.[4] Artists who covered the song include Mia Martini, Anna Oxa and Fabio Concato.[2]
