"Innamoratissimo (Tu che fai battere forte il mio cuore)" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira, released in 1986 as the second single from their second album, Bambini Forever (1986). The song was co-written by Johnson Righeira, Michael Righeira, Carmelo La Bionda, Michelangelo La Bionda, Sergio Conforti and Cristiano Minellono, and produced by La Bionda.[1][2]

The song was performed at the Sanremo Music Festival in February 1986, at which it was first brought to fame. However, the song ended up in fifteenth place out of 22 competing performances in the Big Artists section after the final voting.[3][4] "Innamoratissimo" was targeted by critics, but the duo were praised after their performance, regarding their lack of knowledge in staging big performances.[5]
