Overview
editThe song was originally composed by Ron with the title "La casina" ('The little house') for his album Apri tue braccia e poi vola, but Ron eventually discarded it as he felt it did not fit the style of the album.[1][2] Once invited Dalla to listen to a preview of the album tracks, Ron also let him listen to the song, and Dalla immediately asked his permission to record it.[1][2] The lead single of his album Cambio, Dalla premiered the song on the RAI Saturday evening show Fantastico.[2]
A music video directed by Ambrogio Lo Giudice was produced; set in a circus, it features Dalla and vocalists Iskra Menarini and Carolina Balboni singing while performing a dance.[1]
