Un bacio a mezzanotte
"Un bacio a mezzanotte" (lit. "A Midnight Kiss"[1] or "A Kiss At Midnight")[2] is a 1952 Italian song composed by Gorni Kramer (music) and Garinei & Giovannini (lyrics). Originally part of the revue Gran baraonda (Great chaos), starring Wanda Osiris and Alberto Sordi, it was popularized by the vocal group Quartetto Cetra, as to become a classic of Italian music.[3][4]
The song was later covered by numerous artists, including Elena Beltrami & Natalino Otto, Nete Twins, Teddy Reno, Quartetto Italiano, Renzo Arbore, Marisa Laurito.[3] In 2016, the pop-rock group Dear Jack presented a new version of the song at the 66th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.[5]
The song has been used in the 2021 Pixar film Luca.[6][7]
