"Giorni" (English: "Days") is a song by Italian singer Mina. It was written by Shel Shapiro and Luigi Albertelli. Initially "Giorni" and the song "Ormai" (English: "Now"; written by Andrea Lo Vecchio) were released as a double A-sided single[3] in July 1977[1] to support of Mina's new album Mina con bignè which was released later in November.[4] The single stayed on the chart for 13 weeks, peaking at number 9.[5]

Claudio Milano of OndaRock [it] noted that in "Ormai" Mina had created a new form of drama by reaching artistic maturity.[6]
