Overview

A special edition of the album, titled Mina Celentano – Buon Natale, was released during the Christmas season packaged with a CD-ROM titled "Molly e destino solitario" featuring an animated video of Che t'aggia di.

18 years later, in 2016, Mina and Celentano recorded a second collaborative album called Le Migliori ("the best ones", in reference to a quote by Celentano describing their collaboration).

Lucio Battisti was initially attached to the project but he eventually dropped out.^[4]

The album was recorded in Galbiate and Lugano and was produced by Massimiliano Pani.

The album spawned two singles, Acqua e sale and Brivido felino. Mina would later record Spanish versions of both songs with different male singers, respectively Miguel Bosé and Diego Torres).
