Mina No. 0 is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released on 12 November 1999 by PDU.
Overview
The album is a collection of cover versions of songs by Italian singer Renato Zero, who became its producer.[2] Nine of the ten songs on the album are his authorship, and he also acts as a duet partner with Mina on three compositions.
The name of the album Mina No. 0 is an allusion to the perfume Chanel No. 5, as well as to the surname Renato Zero. In the design of the album, created by Mauro Beletti, the theme of perfumery is also played out, in particular the rigor and conciseness of the design of the famous bottle from Chanel.
The album received positive reviews from critics,[3] and also took 2nd place in the Italian album chart.[4]
