Volare (Nel blu, dipinto di blu) (Piano Cover)

Riivo J plays a piano cover of "Volare" by Domenico Modugno and Franco Migliacci. "Nel blu, dipinto di blu", in English "The Blue (Sky), Painted in Blue" was released in 1958. Modugno co-wrote it with Franco Migliacci after Modugno described a man's dream of flying through the air with his hands painted blue. The song was chosen as the Italian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest in the same year, where it won third place out of ten songs in total. This was the first foreign-language single to top the singles charts in the rock era. Billboard magazine declared it #1 for the year 1958. "Volare" was later translated into several languages and recorded by a wide range of performers. The song is also used as the basis for numerous football chants.
