Ricominciamo
1979 single by Adriano Pappalardo
"Ricominciamo" (lit. 'Let's start over') is a 1979 song composed by Luigi Albertelli and Bruno Tavernese and performed by Italian singer Adriano Pappalardo.
Background
The signature song of Pappalardo, it marked his return to the hit parade after a six-year hiatus. The song is structured over the vocal characteristics of Pappalardo, in crescendo, with a low-key first part in which Pappalardo's voice is hushed and hoarse and a vocal explosion in the refrain.
The success of the song revamped in the second half of the 1990s, after "Ricominciamo" was chosen as closing theme of the comedy show Mai dire Gol and was performed by different singers, including the same Pappalardo, Roberto Vecchioni, Anna Oxa, Luca Barbarossa, Nilla Pizzi, Elio e le Storie Tese, Paola Turci, Piero Pelù and Mina. In 2003, the ska band Après La Classe recorded a reggae version of the song for their eponymous debut album.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
