"In Italia" is a song by Italian rapper Fabri Fibra. It was released on 14 April 2008 through Universal Music Italia as the lead single from his ninth studio album of the same name. The single featured vocals by Italian singer Gianna Nannini.
The song was included in the soundtrack of the film Gomorrah directed by Matteo Garrone,based on the investigative journalism book of the same name by Roberto Saviano. [1]
Produced by Dj Nais,Enrico Caruso and Big Fish,the track highlights many problems of contemporary Italy, [2] including the high crime rate,medical malpractice,unemployment,precarious employment,corruption and mafia and the many deceptions in which the country is forced to live. [3] [4] The track features a quote from writer Roberto Saviano said in an interview with Enzo Biagi:"One of my dreams had been to stay in my land,tell my story and continue to resist". [1] [5]
For the album's re-issue,the song was released as a single in a new version featuring the vocal participation of Gianna Nannini,who sings the refrain. [6] [7]
The music video was directed by Cosimo Alemàand published on the YouTube channel. It was shot entirely in black and white,and begins with Fabri Fibra on the couch of a psychologist,played by Ambra Angiolini. Fibra asked the psychologist if he could tell her about a recurring dream,after which the actual song begins. At this point,the scenes move to outdoor and metropolitan settings (including the Campo Verano in Rome),in which Gianna Nannini also appears during the refrain of the track. The video ends again in the psychologist's office,but with the roles of doctor and patient reversed,and then Ambra lying on the couch. [8] [9]
Originally,a cameo by Roberto Saviano was planned,but he has not taken part in the registration due to the protection protocol that has required him to live under escort since 13 October 2006 following the 2006 death threats by the Camorra cartels of the Casalesi clan. [5]
