"Felicità" (pronounced [felitʃiˈta]; Italian for "Happiness") is a song by Italian duo Al Bano and Romina Power, released in 1982. It was an international commercial success and remains arguably their best-known song.
Song information
The duo participated with the track in the 1982 Sanremo Music Festival and finished second. The song appeared on their 1982 album Felicità (also known as Aria pura). The closing track from the album, "Arrivederci a Bahia", was released as the B side. For the Spanish release, both songs were re-recorded in Spanish, and the single received a different cover image.
