Gelato al cioccolato is the second studio album by Italian singer Pupo, released in 1979 through Baby Records.

Background

It includes the singles "Forse" and "Gelato al cioccolato". Regarding the title track, a light and carefree song, years later Ghinazzi revealed that it was actually inspired by a passionate adventure that the lyricist, Cristiano Malgioglio, had in North Africa with a local boy.^[1] However, Malgioglio later denied this version.^[2] Malgioglio, already known as a songwriter for artists like Mina and Ornella Vanoni, did not want to publicly appear as the author for Pupo, so he had himself credited under the pseudonym "Miozzi".
