"E penso a te" (English: And I think of you) is a song composed in 1970 by Lucio Battisti based on the lyrics by Mogol. Initially sung by Bruno Lauzi, it was subsequently re-recorded by numerous other artists. The most popular version remains the one which its author gave in 1972.
The song was the first composition for the newly created Battisti-Mogol label Numero Uno. [1] The lyrics counterpoint the sweet memories of a youthful summer love and the daily routine of the mature love relationship. [1]
Battisti was born in Poggio Bustone, a small town in the province of Rieti (northern Lazio), and moved with his family to Rome in 1950. A self-taught guitarist, Battisti made his debut as musician in the 1960s, performing in local bands in Rome, Naples and later in Milan, where he joined I Campioni (The Champions), the support band of then famous singer Tony Dallara.
Emozioni (Emotions) is the third studio album by the Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in December 1970 by Dischi Ricordi . The album was Italy's fourth-best-selling album in 1971.
The album name is derived from the surnames of Mina and the songwriter and singer Lucio Battisti, hence Mazzini canta Battisti. This is also the first time in Mina's recording history that her surname appears on an album of hers. This is the second tribute album that Mina has recorded, the first being the 1975 album Minacantalucio.
The album contains both cover versions and songs written especially for the singer. The album opens with "E penso a te," which is a reworking of a track originally recorded last year by Bruno Lauzi as the b-side of "Mary oh Mary." Next up is an Italian-language cover of "I'll Be Home" by Randy Newman called "Capirò".
The song's composition was inspired by a long and much-publicized Battisti's and Mogol's horseback riding trip from Milan to Rome. [1] [2] According to Battisti, it 'expressed the sense of discovery, of wonder, of freedom that Mogol and I found venturing through meadows, hills, and rivers, as if we were seeing nature for the first time.'
