Emozioni (song)

"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. 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.'

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

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