Una donna per amico

When Lucio Battisti presented Una donna per amico in December 1978, he not only released his thirteenth studio work, but also left a mark on Italian music. Recorded at The Manor studios in Oxfordshire and in London, this album featured production by Geoff Westley and the participation of session musicians, who helped shape a sound that moved within the Pop genre. The lyrics, written by Mogol, and the music, composed by Battisti himself, combined to create a work that, with a total duration of 44 minutes and 34 seconds, became the fourth best-selling record in Italy that year.

This work, released by the Numero Uno label, has been recognized over time. In 2012, the Italian edition of Rolling Stone magazine included it in its list of the 100 best Italian albums of all time, placing it in third position. The tracklist features songs such as Prendila così, Donna selvaggia donna, and the title track, Una donna per amico, among others. The collaboration between Battisti and Mogol, already consolidated, is perceived in the cohesion of the compositions.

The impact of Una donna per amico extends beyond its initial sales figures. Its inclusion in rankings of Italy's most important albums demonstrates its longevity and the way it resonated in the music scene.
