Leggera is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released on 17 October 1997 by PDU.

Critical reception

[edit]

Mario Luzzatto Fegiz of Corriere della Sera noted that it is "a good, diverse, funny, believable disc created to once again demonstrate the virtuoso Mina's capabilities, although it is probably a little less commercial than the previous album Cremona."[4]

In the song "Grigio" there is a so-called hidden track "Suona ancora" (Mina's solo version), at the end of which you can hear the door open and a male voice says "Permesso?" (May I?). This voice belongs to Adriano Celentano, and the situation itself is a hint of a joint album Mina Celentano, which will be released in 1998.
