Mina con Bignè is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in November 1977 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana.[3]

According to tradition, in 1977, Mina recorded one album with new songs, and another (Mina quasi Jannacci) with cover versions.[4][5] Originally, both albums were sold together as a double album, later they went on sale separately.

Critical reception

Claudio Milano of OndaRock [it] highlighted the song "Ormai" in the album, stating that Mina had created a new form of drama by reaching artistic maturity.[6] In 2015 Panorama magazine named Mina con Bignè among the ten fundamental albums by Mina.[7] Carlo Gibertini from Rolling Stone magazine included "Ma che bontà" in the list of the 15 best Italian songs about food, calling it "brilliant".[8]
