Overview

As the name implies, the album includes songs written specifically for Mina's performance in the fourth season of the popular television program Studio Uno . [5] Initially, Mina was supposed to appear in all twelve episodes of the season as a presenter, but later the creators changed the format of the show and divided it into four parts of five episodes; in each block, the presenter was one of the main "prima donna" of the Italian stage of those years: Sandra Milo, Ornella Vanoni, Rita Pavone and, finally, Mina (notably, that it was the issues with her participation that became the most rated).

Almost all the songs from the album at the time of its release had already been released as singles and managed to occupy high positions in the charts. [6] One of them, "Se telefonando", is Mina's flawless interpretation of a difficult song, composed and arranged by Ennio Morricone to lyrics by Maurizio Costanzo. The main theme of the song thrills around just three notes, taken from the siren of a police car in Marseilles. [7] In the reader's poll conducted by the La Repubblica newspaper to celebrate Mina's 70th anniversary in 2010, 30,000 voters picked the track as the best song ever recorded by Mina. [8]

The album itself was released in July and topped the Italian chart. [9] This album was also released abroad, in particular in the USA and Canada (distributed by United Artists Records), in Latin America the album was distributed under the name Bravissima. Subsequently, it was reissued several times, and a remastered version of the album was released in 2011.
