As with the previous chapters, the album consists of cover versions of songs, mostly from the 1960s and early 1970s.[1] It also include a new song, "Come un sigillo", a duet with Alice.[1] Starting from January 2002, Battiato anticipated in his concerts several songs of the album.[2][3]
The album was recorded at Industria Musica studios in Milan.[1] All the tracks were arranged by Battiato.[1] Cover art was cured by Francesco Messina.[1] The album was dedicated to the Sony Music general manager Fabrizio Intra, who had died a few months before at 49 years old.[2][3] Several songs were used by Battiato for the soundtrack of his 2003 directorial feature film debut, Lost Love.[3]
Battiato explained his choice of naming his second album in the Fleurs series as Fleurs 3 and not Fleurs 2 as "If you go from one to three the trilogy is closed; if you go along with the consequentiality of numbers, on the other hand, you open an infinite series."[2][3]
The album was released on 20 August 2002.[1] It was officially presented on 5 September 2002 with a concert held at Rai Rome studios that was broadcast live on Rai Radio 1.[3]
The album was a commercial success, topping the Italian album hit parade.[2]
