"Nostalgia canaglia" (Italian pronunciation: [nostalˈdʒiːa kaˈnaʎʎa]; "Rogue Nostalgia") is a 1987 song by Italian–American duo Al Bano and Romina Power, released via the label WEA as a single from their album Sempre sempre. The music was composed by the singers alongside Vito Mercurio, and the lyrics were written by Vito Pallavicini and Willy Molco.[1][2]
Al Bano and Romina competed with the song in the Sanremo Music Festival 1987, returning to the contest three years after their 1984 victory with "Ci sarà".[3] "Nostalgia canaglia" placed third behind winning song "Si può dare di più" (by Gianni Morandi, Enrico Ruggeri and Umberto Tozzi) and runner-up "Figli" (by Toto Cutugno). The single peaked at number 4 on the Italian charts[4] and went on to become one of the duo's most popular tracks.[5]
