Overview
- In a Supernova podcast interview, Romina Power said she originally did not want to record the 1982 hit and described it as “banale.”
- Lyricist Popi Minellono criticized her on RAI’s La Volta Buona, calling it a “clamoroso autogol” and saying she had “sputato nel piatto dove ha mangiato.”
- Minellono argued the song brought Power unimaginable rewards over four decades and claimed roughly 3 billion web views last year.
- A tense on-air exchange erupted when host Caterina Balivo objected to Minellono invoking Loredana Lecciso, telling him, “This I don’t like.”
- Power later posted that her use of “banale” was decontextualized, cited the term’s etymology, and said she is fond of Felicità and will keep performing it.
