Tintarella di luna is the debut studio album by Italian singer Mina. [2] It was released in March 1960, by Italdisc. Despite the fact that the songs contained on the album have previously been released on various singles and EPs, it is considered not a compilation album, but a debut album in the official discography of the singer.

It should also be noted, among other things, the track "My Crazy Baby", one of the few authored by Mina herself. [1]
