Quale donna vuoi da me?

This short but intense song, Quale donna vuoi da me?, has a rhythm that hooks from the first seconds. It's not a long track —just two and a half minutes—, but in that time it manages to convey a direct, almost defiant question that lingers. The sound is clean, without excessive adornments, and Ornella Vanoni's voice unfolds with a naturalness that makes every word sound like a whisper or a shout, depending on what the moment requires. What stands out most is not in the production, but in how the melody holds up over a simple yet effective base, as if each note were calculated to avoid distracting from the essence of the message.Recorded in 1970, this track is part of an album that wasn't conceived as a traditional studio project, but rather as a compilation of past hits and songs that had already left their mark in other settings.

Appuntamento, the album that contains it, reached fifth place in sales at the time, but what's interesting is that it wasn't born from scratch: it includes tracks that had already been presented at festivals like Sanremo or programs like Canzonissima. Ornella Vanoni even competed in Sanremo in 1970 with Eternità alongside I Camaleonti, and although she didn't win, that experience seems to have left its mark on this song. The song itself didn't win any awards, but its inclusion in an album that blended past hits with new material gave it a prominent place among the recordings of the era.
