Overview

This album continues the joint soundtrack cycle with RAI for Paolo Frajese's program Trent'anni della nostra storia (Thirty Years of Our History), dedicated to the history of the broadcaster. [3] [4] This time Mina covered songs originally released between 1950 (Louis Prima's "Buona sera") and 1969 (Lucio Battisti's "Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara").

Two singles were released in support of the album. The first, "Rose su rose", was released in early 1984 and became the opening theme for that year's Sanremo Music Festival. [5] The song reached number sixteen on the singles chart. [6] The B-side was the song "Ninna Nanna", written by Massimiliano Pani and Valentino Alfano, and was not released on any album until 1998. [7] The second single, "Comincia tu", was released in October of the same year and became the thirty-fifth in the singles chart. [6] Either "La nave" or the disco mix of "Brigitte Bardot" were used as a B-side. [8] [9]

The album debuted at number twenty-one on the Italian chart and peaked at number two in its fourth week. In total, the album spent sixteen weeks on the chart. [10] The album, in addition to Italy, was released in Germany and Switzerland. The two parts of the album were distributed both separately and in one edition. In 2001, it was remastered and released only as a double album. [11]
