Mina (1971 album)

This album symbolically marked the transition period between Augusto Martelli and Pino Presti as arranger and conductor and is distinguished by the classical character and elegance of the pieces, capable of creating a particularly homogeneous and refined atmosphere.

"Le farfalle nella notte" with lyrics by Luciano Beretta was first heard in Alberto Lattuada's 1970 film Come Have Coffee with Us.

"Alfie" is Mina's version of a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David five years earlier for the Lewis Gilbert film of the same name, originally performed by Cilla Black and later by Cher.

[7] Ezio Guaitamacchi [it] called the album an excellent recording with tasteful original songs, consolidating Mina's breakthrough made in 1967.

[13] Mattia Marzi from Rockol also stated that this is a very elegant, well-arranged record filled with songs that pay tribute to Mazzini's talent and timeless vocals.
