"Emozioni " ( lit.'Emotions') is a 1970 song composed by Lucio Battisti (music) and Mogol (lyrics), arranged by Gian Piero Reverberi and performed by Lucio Battisti.

Composition

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.' [1]

Release

Originally it was the B-side of "Anna", with Battisti eventually deciding to swap the two songs. [1] [2]

Cover versions

Artists who covered the song include Gianni Morandi, Mina, Patty Pravo, Marcella Bella, Fred Bongusto, Formula 3, Maurizio Vandelli. [2]
