Incontro is the tenth studio album by Italian singer Patty Pravo, released in 1975 through RCA Italiana.[1]
Overview
For this album, Pravo chose composers with whom she has already had the opportunity to work: Francesco De Gregori ("Mercato dei fiori"), Antonello Venditti ("Le tue mani su di me"), Sergio Bardotti, Bruno Lauzi ("Roberto e l'aquilone"), Riccardo Del Turco ("Io grande io piccola"), as well as such lyricist as Carla Vistarini ("Eppure è amore", "Questo amore sbagliato") and Luigi Lopez. The record was produced by Italian singer Gepy & Gepy and reportedly recorded in only three days.[2]
The title song was released as the only single off the album, with "Incontro" on side B,[3] and reached number 6 on the Italian chart. The album itself was a top 5 seller in Italy.
