More chords by Domenico Modugno

Genre: pop, italian music


The lyrics of Modugno's song were written by Riccardo Pazzaglia, and tell the

funny story of two boys who

cannot enjoy their love, because of her shrewish mother who follows them

everywhere or sends other people to

control the two lovers' outings. There are several versions, by Modugno

himself, who sometimes adds other

family characters and recited passages.

A film of the same name was made from the song (with Modugno himself and an

irresistible Tina Pica), directed

by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia. It will also be reinterpreted by Renato Carosone

and Massimo Ranieri.
