"Il cielo in una stanza" (Italian pronunciation: [il ˈtʃɛːlo in ˈuːna ˈstantsa]) is a song written by Gino Paoli and originally recorded by Italian singer Mina for the album of the same name. The song was released as a single in June 1960 by Italdisc. It became a commercial success in Italy, topping the charts for eleven consecutive weeks and later returning to number one for three additional weeks.[1] It is also Mina's best-selling single in Italy, with estimated sales of 400.000 copies.[2]
The song was subsequently re-recorded by several artists, including Paoli himself, Franco Simone, Ornella Vanoni, Giorgia, Carla Bruni and Mike Patton. In 2018, Paoli's version of the song was certified gold by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.[3]
