At that time, Gianni Morandi was already well established, and he certainly did not need to be present at the Cantagiro to be popular. Instead, he presented himself at the event with the enthusiasm of a beginner; and with the compelling “Notte di ferragosto” an intense tune dedicated to the jealousy that arouses love, with this tune Gianni Morandi won the Cantagiro.
“Notte di Ferragosto” is one of the many number ones in Gianni Morandi’s HitParade. The entry of this song in the charts dates back to July 16, 1966, remaining at the top for three weeks.
