Piccolo uomo

Little man) is a 1972 Italian song composed by Dario Baldan Bembo (music), Bruno Lauzi, and Michelangelo La Bionda (lyrics) and performed by Mia Martini.

[1] When Dario Baldan Bembo presented this ballad to Ricordi, he expected it to be recorded by the successful band I Camaleonti.

But producer Giovanni Sanjust felt it was the right song to definitely launch the career of upcoming singer Mia Martini.

[1][2] This led to a great disagreement between the two, with Baldan Bembo even refusing to play Hammond organ in the Martini's audition.

[2] The song was recorded by Mia Martini in French (with the title "Tout petit homme"), German (as "Auf der welt") and Spanish (as "Pequeno hombre").
