is a 1979 Italian song composed and performed by Umberto Balsamo.

Balsamo composed the song, a mixture of pop and tarantella, in London, where was recording his album.

[1] Its lyrics mainly consist of images from his childhood days.

[1] Balsamo had to fight with Phonogram to release the song as a single, even to the point that Phonogram threatened to have his contract terminated, as the label considered tarantella a poorly marketable genre with no selling potential and was pressing for Balsamo to have a song in the style of his previous hit "L'angelo azzurro".

[1][2] The song has been described as "a real classic [...] where the rhythmic elements capture [the listener], in their regular and hypnotic procession repeated even in the lyrics of the refrain".
