The song was composed by Bigazzi, Raf and Tozzi during a Christmas party at
Caterina Caselli's house.[1][2] Shortly later, Tozzi proposed the song to Morandi and Ruggeri, with whom he had developed a close friendship during the matches of the
Nazionale Cantanti [
it] ("National Team of Singers", an amateur football team made up of musicians and playing charity games).[1] The first demo of the song was recorded by a then-unknown
Marco Masini.[1][3]
The song won the Sanremo Festival and was a major commercial success, topping the Italian hit parade for seven weeks,[2] but received a mixed response from critics.[1][2][3]
