Amico è

"Amico è" is a 1983 song composed by Dario Baldan Bembo (music), Nini Giacomelli and Sergio Bardotti (lyrics), and performed by Baldan Bembo and Caterina Caselli.

A hymn to friendship, "Amico è" was the ending theme song of the Mike Bongiorno's quiz show SuperFlash. The song was also linked to a contest organized by the magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, in which the readers should have identified four popular singers hidden among the choirs; in the last episode of the television show it was revealed they were Pupo, Ornella Vanoni, Giuni Russo and Gigliola Cinquetti.

Outside its immediate success, later the song became a widely spread football chant.

In the 1982 album Spirito della Terra, Baldan Bembo included a different version of the song titled "Falò" and featuring Riccardo Fogli and Marcella Bella. The song was also covered by numerous artists, including Kikki Danielsson and Kjell Roos in a Swedish version titled "Vem går med dig hem" and Celine Dion in a French version titled "Hymne à l'amitié".
