Jan, a long time reader of this blog, said that she likes this particular Elisa track – Almeno tu nell’universo – ‘At least you (are) in the universe’.
It’s a slow and romantic number. One for smooching to at the end of an evening.
Bit slow for my tastes, but what I like is not necessarily what you like, so do have a listen.
Here is Almeno tu nell’universo, thanks to YouTube:
And here’s the version which another long time reader, Cristian, prefers:

To get Italy flavour news and updates via Twitter, follow: @newsfromitaly 2300+ followers and counting.For those who did not know, Francesco Cossiga, who died the other day, was an Italian politician and one time President of Italy. Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.
As you may be aware, the generally tumultus world of Italian politics is in turmoil. The Berlusconi government is teetering on the brink of collapse, but what is really surprising, is that this collapse was sparked from the inside.
From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.
I prefer the original version by Mia Martini.

The song, the words are made for an aggressive voice.
Cristian,
No sooner mentioned, than added! Thanks for the pointer:-)
Cheers,

That’s fast!
Thanks.
You see, even if Mia didn’t write the words, they are particularly fitting to her personal life (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Martini).
