The song was released as a single in November 1960, its peculiarity is that on the reverse side a song performed by another artist was used — "Uno spicchio di luna" performed by Mario D'Alba.[1] The single will soon be re-released, and the song "Non voglio cioccolata" will be used as the B-side, already performed by Mina.[2] The song was a success on the Italian charts, reaching number three, and by December 1960 sales exceeded 10,000 copies.[3]
