Contents

The song was released as the lead single from Vecchioni's compilation album of the same name. [4] It peaked at number two on the Italian Singles Chart, and it was certified gold by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry. [5]

Background

Describing the lyrical content of the song, Vecchioni claimed it refers to two different "nights" to be fought: "a horrible collective night, and an existential one. We need to agree on something, some kind of faith or hope, otherwise we are not going anywhere". [6] Linguist Giuseppe Antonelli, writing for web magazine Rockol, praised Vecchioni's choice to compose a song with lyrics defending culture and freedom of thought, but using a language which is very close to the commonly spoken Italian.
