Music by Dario Baldan Bembo, text by Franco Califano, and the story of a one-way love. The protagonist at the disposal of a man who takes her and leaves her, as in an endless dance. Exactly a minuet. The snow of ’56 is a piece written in 1975 by a team of authors (text by Carla Vistarini, music by Luigi Lopez and Fabio Massimo Cantini). Gabriella Ferri had to record it at first, then it remained fifteen years in the drawers of the RCA, until Franco Califano put his hands on it and, above all, the voice Mia Martini who brought him to the Sanremo Festival in 1990. At least you in the universewas composed by the couple Bruno Lauzi-Maurizio Fabrizio in 1972, in the same period in which Piccolo uomo was recorded. Unlike the other song, this one does not suggest great potential, it even remains in the drawer and is deposited in Siae only in 1989 to have it brought to Sanremo by Mia Martini, where it makes its great return on the scene after a long period of ostracism.
