Artwork for the re-release

"Comincia tu" (English: "You start") is a song written by Massimiliano Pani and Piero Cassano for Italian singer Mina. The song was released as a single from the album Catene with "La nave" on the back in October 1984.^[1] The single was later re-released with a disco mix of "Comincia tu" and the song "Brigitte Bardot" as the b-side.^[2] Nevertheless, the single performed modestly on the charts.

The song "Comincia tu" was the main theme of the second cycle of the television program Trent'anni della nostra storia [it], broadcast from mid-February to mid-April 1985,^[3] which tells the second decade of Italian history from 1956 to 1965, through the most significant and salient facts of the period.^[4]
