Rita Pavone is the self-titled debut studio album by Italian singer Rita Pavone, released on 2 April 1963. [1] The album was the best-selling album of 1963 in Italy. [2]

The patron of the event was Teddy Reno, who would become her mentor and husband six years later. Winning the competition led to an audition with RCA Italiana and immediately secured her a record deal.
From 1963, Pavone reached widespread popularity: already in the early months of the year, her record sales surpassed one million copies. [3]
Indeed, several hugely successful singles were released: "La partita di pallone", which reached the top spot on the charts on 16 February 1963, and remained there for two weeks [4] and "Sul cucuzzolo" (written by Edoardo Vianello); "Alla mia età"; and "Come te non c'è nessuno", which stayed at the top for 9 weeks starting from 2 March, [5] and "Il ballo del mattone", which reached number one on 8 June 1963 and stayed there for three weeks. [6]
During the same period, the artist's fame grew even more due to her regular appearances on the second edition of the variety show Studio Uno . At the time of release, six tracks had already been included on 45-rpm records, while another six songs were previously unreleased.
