Gente (English: People) is an Italian-language song recorded by Laura Pausini and written by Cheope, Marco Marati and Angelo Valsiglio.

[1] It was released in 1994 as the second single from Pausini's second album, Laura.

The song bears a striking resemblance to the Marco Ferradini song "Teorema."

Both versions of the song were re-recorded with a new arrangement by Celso Valli for Pausini's first greatest hits album, The Best of Laura Pausini: E ritorno da te / Lo mejor de Laura Pausini: Volveré junto a ti[2] and later would be re-recordered with a new arrangement for Pausini's second greatest hits album, 20 - The Greatest Hits / 20 - Grandes Éxitos.

The Italian-language version of the song was covered in 1995 by Brazilian singer Renato Russo and included in his album Equilíbrio distante.
