The album

Attila is an album by Italian singer Mina, issued in 1979.

Released as a double album in the winter of 1979, Attila was an immediate success and is one of the top 3 best-selling albums of the singer's career.[1] At just sixteen years old, Mina’s son Massimiliano Pani made his debut as a songwriter with two tracks entitled: Sensazioni and Il vento.

Anche un uomo was the ending theme of the TV quiz show Lascia o raddoppia? [2] written by Mike Bongiorno, Anselmo Genovese and the famous "Mr. No" Ludovico Peregrini.[3]

Don’t take your love away is a cover of a song written by Isaac Hayes. The song is also the longest track recorded by Mina.

The track Un po' di più 'was originally sung by Patty Pravo and included on her album Sì... incoerenza in 1972.

The song Rock and roll star and Anche tu were also recorded by Mina is Spanish under the titles Estrella del rock e También tù , respectively. These two songs were included on the Spanish version of '‘Attila'’.

The album cover is signed by Luciano Tallarini, on photographs of Mauro Ballets reworked with the airbrush by Gianni Ronco. The album cover won the prize for best cover of the year and is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.,[4][5]
