Hitalia is a Gianna Nannini's studio album, released in 2014 and consisting of cover versions of classic Italian pop songs.

Production

Nannini recorded the album at Abbey Road Studios in London, under the co-production of Wil Malone.[1] Nannini described the album as "a sung biography", for which she chose the songs following "an emotional path, not an intellectual one", and explained the decision to record a cover album as the necessity of doing something different from her last works.[2] The album features Gino Paoli, Vasco Rossi and Massimo Ranieri as guests.[2] Notably, Ivano Fossati's "Dedicato" incorporates an extra verse absent from Loredana Bertè's original version.[2]

Release

Anticipated by the lead single "Lontano dagli occhi", the album was released on 1 December 2014.[1][2]
