"'Nessuno'" (literally "Nobody") is a 1959 Italian song composed by Antonietta De Simone and Edilio Capotosti. The song premiered at the ninth edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, with a double performance by Wilma De Angelis and Betty Curtis, and placed at the eighth place.
Ignored by the public in its original versions, the song got a large commercial success thanks to the rock'n'roll version recorded by Mina. Mina's version was performed in fortissimo and in a syncopated style, distorting the linearity of the original melody.Marcello Bufacchi. 'Mina - 1958-2005: ancora insieme'. Editori Riuniti, 2005. .
