"Almeno tu nell'universo" (Italian pronunciation: [alˈmeːno ˈtu nnelluniˈvɛrso]; transl. "At least you in the [whole] universe") is a song written by Bruno Lauzi and Maurizio Fabrizio and recorded by Italian singer Mia Martini, who released it as a single in 1989 and included the track in her self-titled album Martini Mia. Martini performed the song for the first time at the Sanremo Music Festival 1989, where it placed 9th in a field of 24, but received the Critics' Award, which would be named after Martini herself after her death. The song later became a commercial success, being certified platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry,[1] and is now considered a classic of Italian popular music.
Cover versions of "Almeno tu nell'universo" have been recorded by several artists, including Elisa, Mina, Thelma Houston and Marco Mengoni. In 2005, it was voted the best Sanremo Music Festival song of all time by the readers of the Italian newspaper la Repubblica.[2]
