"Fotoromanza" is a song composed by Gianna Nannini, Conny Plank and Raffaella Riva (a member of the pop group Gruppo Italiano) and performed by Gianna Nannini.[1] The single peaked at first place for four consecutive weeks in September 1984 on the Italian hit parade.[1][2] It won the 1984 edition of Festivalbar and also won "Vota la Voce", a musical event organized by the magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni.[1] The music video of the song was directed by the Academy Award winner Michelangelo Antonioni.[1][3]

The song was later covered by several artists, including Ricchi e Poveri and Iva Zanicchi, and sampled by rapper Marracash for his song "Fotoromanzo". It was included in the soundtrack of the Gianni Amelio's drama film The Stolen Children.[4]
