Background edit

The song was initially planned to be sung by the sole Roby Facchinetti, but after the band's choice of entering the Sanremo Festival it was re-structured to leave one verse to each member.[1] Pooh's record label Compagnia Generale del Disco's first choice for the festival was "Donne italiane", which was eventually released a few months before.[1]

Release edit

The song premiered at the Sanremo Music Festival 1990 on 1 March 1990, during the second night of the festival.[1][2] It was released as a single on 3 March, with the instrumental "Concerto per un'oasi" as B-side.[1]

Reception edit

The song was the last single of the band to top the Italian hit parade.[1] It was certified gold.[1] It has been described as "built on a simple structure and on a measured and almost minimal arrangement".[2]

Other versions edit

Dee Dee Bridgewater released the English version "Angel of the Night" as a single in 1990, and included it in her 1992 album All of Me.[1] Pooh recorded a Spanish-language of the song titled "Hombres Solos".[1] Artists who covered the song include Hélène Ségara and Wilma De Angelis.[1]
