"E se domani" ('And if tomorrow') is a 1964 Italian song composed by Carlo Alberto Rossi (music) and Giorgio Calabrese (lyrics). It premiered at the 14th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with a double performance by Fausto Cigliano and Gene Pitney, and was brought to success by Mina.

Overview

The song was entered into the main competition Sanremo Music Festival 1964. [1] [2] Before being assigned to Fausto Cigliano and Gene Pitney, Mia Martini was considered as a possible performer. [2] Suffering from "pompous and banal arrangements", the song was eliminated from the competition, in what music critic Dario Salvatori  [ it ] described as "one of the most striking artistic blunders in the history of the festival". [1]

A few months later, Carlo Alberto Rossi convinced Mina, who needed a song to wrap up her album, to record it. [1] Mina's version eventually became a classic, with the song later recorded in more than a hundred cover versions. [1] Mina also recorded the song in Spanish as "Y si mañana". [1] Artists who covered the song include Dalida, Julio Iglesias, Amii Stewart, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Natalino Otto, Morgana King, Nilla Pizzi, Fausto Papetti, Lara Saint Paul, and Marisa Terzi  [ it ].
