Background edit

The song was Consoli's entry in Sanremo Music Festival 1997, where it was eliminated from the competition after the first night.[1] In the following weeks, it became a surprise hit, also thanks to its being chosen as the soundtrack for a commercial for the Rocco Barocco's Piazza di Spagna perfume.[2] The style of the song has been paired to Irish rock, goth rock and to Janis Joplin's existentialist ballads.[2] In 2012, Francesca Michielin covered the song in her EP Distratto.[3]
