Il mio canto libero (song)
1972 song by Lucio Battisti
"Il mio canto libero" (My Free Song) is a song written by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti and lyricist Mogol. The song was recorded by Battisti for the album of the same title, and released as a single in November 1972 for Mogol's recording label Numero Uno.[1] The song was a commercial success in Italy, topping the Musica e dischi singles chart for nine consecutive weeks in 1973 and becoming the third best-selling single of the year.[2][3] During the following years, it was covered by several artists, and it became a classic of Italian popular music.[4] It was certified double platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry in 2024, for domestic equivalent sales exceeding 200,000 units since 2009.[5]
The front cover of the single is a photograph by Cesare Monti, showing an eye with a white background.[6]
