Vita spericolata
"Vita spericolata" (transl. "Reckless life") is a song composed by Vasco Rossi (lyrics) and Tullio Ferro[it] (music) and performed by Vasco Rossi.
The song had a gestation of about an year; it was initially presented by composer Ferro with English lyrics,[1] and in an early draft it was a love song about a girl named Licia.[2] Eventually, Rossi chose to reprise the same theme already explored in previous singles "Siamo solo noi" and "Vado al massimo", namely a celebration of anticonformism and of freedom from all schemes and conventions.[1]
The song premiered at the 33rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where it ranked penultimate.[1][2] It eventually turned out to be a long-selling hit and Rossi's consacration.[1][2][3] It has been described as a "manifesto of human individualism taken to the extreme between transgression, boredom, melancholy and the determination to live without limits or schedules".[2]
Cover versions of the song include those recorded by Francesco De Gregori, Massimo Ranieri and Thelma Houston with an English-language version titled "My Life is Mine", lyrics by Jean Rich in the album Thelma Houston (Fonit Cetra - CDL ).[3]Gino Paoli reprised its refrain in his hit "Quattro amici".[2][3]
