P.G. Redi,[1908-1962] was a famous Italian composer,known for composing the music of many famous songs as [non dimenticar -T'ho voluto Bene] of the film [Anna] of 1951. Nisa ( Nicola Salerno ,1910 - 1969 ) was a famous Italian lyricist at his time. The song was performed for the first time in the 1958 music festival of San Remo [Sanremo] by the Late Aurelio Fierro &Gloria Christian,another version was also sung in Sanremo 1958 by Gino Latilla & Carla Boni..
