Ritornerai

Background

According to Lauzi, the song was composed in a few minutes, while he was waiting for a friend who had just gone out to buy cigarettes. Shortly after its release, Lauzi was conscripted to his military service and was unable to promote the song. In spite of that, "Ritornerai" turned to be Lauzi's first hit and breakthrough. The song was included in several film scores, notably Nanni Moretti's The [Mass Is Ended] and Ridley Scott's House of Gucci.
