Per amarti is the eighth studio album by Italian singer Mia Martini, released in 1977 by and distributed by RCA Italiana.
Overview The record marks the beginning of a collaboration between Mia Martini and Ivano Fossati, who wrote the songs "Sentimento" and "Se finisce qui". The title track and the lead single "Per amarti" were written by Bruno Lauzi and Maurizio Fabrizio. Martini herself is the author of the Italian lyrics of "Somebody to Love" by Queen, recorded under the title "Un uomo per me". The song "Da capo", written by Riccardo Cocciante, was recorded by Mina for the album Mina con bignè in the same year. The album also contains "Ritratto di donna," the track with which Martini wins the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo and the European Critics' Award in Palma de Mallorca.
