I hope you enjoy. :-) More about the song: "Azzurro" is an Italian pop song composed by Paolo Conte, Michele Virano and Vito Pallavicini. Its most famous version was recorded by Adriano Celentano in 1968. Conte, Pallavicini and Virano wrote Azzurro especially for Celentano. The song describes a lonely summer in the city. Structurally it typically reflects Conte's writing style, combining simple and catchy melodies with unusual elements, like the military march music bit in the middle. Conte would record the song himself in 1985, ten years into his own solo career as a performer. Together with Via con me and Sotto le stelle del Jazz, it is now one of his most popular songs.
