"Gocce di memoria" (transl. "Drops of memory") is a 2003 song composed by Andrea Guerra (music) and Giorgia (lyrics) and performed by Giorgia. One of Giorgia's major hits, it is the theme song of the Ferzan Özpetek's film Facing Windows.
An autobiographical song about the importance of memories, the only ones able to reconnect us with the people who have entered our lives and left a mark, it represents a tribute to singer Alex Baroni, Giorgia's partner until his 2002 death from a motorcycle accident.[1] The song won the Nastro d'Argento award for best original song,[2] and three Italian Music Awards as best single, best composition and best arrangement.[3]
