Background
editAccording to Lauzi, the song was composed in a few minutes, while he was waiting for a friend who had just gone out to buy cigarettes.[1] Shortly after its release, Lauzi was conscripted to his military service and was unable to promote the song.[1] In spite of that, "Ritornerai" turned to be Lauzi's first hit and breakthrough.[1][2] The song was included in several film scores, notably Nanni Moretti's The Mass Is Ended and Ridley Scott's House of Gucci.[2][3]
Cover versions
editArtists who also recorded the song include Delta V, Ornella Vanoni, Franco Battiato, Negramaro, Diodato, Fiorella Mannoia, Michele Bravi, Conny Vandenbos.[2][4]
