The story behind
The story behind Due tipi come noi takes us to a key moment in Italian music. Adriano Celentano, nicknamed "Il Molleggiato" for his particular dancing style, was already a prominent figure. His way of understanding music led him to be one of the pioneers in incorporating more energetic and youthful sounds in Italy, drawing inspiration from the rock and roll arriving from the United States. This song, with its 2:08 duration, is a reflection of that energy that sought to connect with the new generations.
Celentano's career, who was born in Milan on January 6, 1938, is impressive. It is estimated that he has sold around 150 million records, a number that places him on par with another great figure, Mina, as the Italian artist with the highest sales. Although he is often recognized as the author of his compositions, his wife Claudia Mori has mentioned that he preferred others to sign the lyrics and music, despite his deep creative involvement. This approach, combined with his overwhelming personality, made him a benchmark for many Italians after World War II.
