Overview
The album, as usual, features a part with cover versions of famous world and Italian hits, originally released between 1927 (Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust") and 1979 (Gianna Nannini's "California"), as well as a part with new original material.
The song "Il genio del bene" was used by Rete 4 as the theme song of the telenovela Vendetta di una donna starring Luisa Kuliok.[5]
The album debuted at number fifteen on the Italian albums chart and peaked at number four in its fourth week, and stayed on the chart for a total of fifteen weeks.[6] In the European albums chart, it became the fifty-second.[7]
