"Le mille bolle blu" ("A Thousand Blue Bubbles") is a 1961 Italian song composed by Vito Pallavicini and Carlo Alberto Rossi. Together with "Io amo, tu ami", the song was the Mina's entry at the eleventh edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where it was presented in a double performance with Jenny Luna.[2][3] It replaced "Come sinfonia", which originally was meant to be performed by Mina together with its composer Pino Donaggio.[4] In spite of being the favorite, it only placed at the fifth place.[3] Despite its initial tepid response, it eventually became one of Mina's signature songs, and during the years has been used in films, television themes, and commercials.[3]
