Album Release 2026: Presentation at Triennale Milano

The record was announced and shown to the public at the Triennale di Milano, in an event described by Massimiliano Pani, Mina's son and music producer, as a moment of listening rather than a press conference, according to ANSA coverage. PDU is responsible for the project's edition, bringing together historical material and recent recordings. The Voce space presentation highlighted the curatorial intention to unite fragments kept in the artist's personal archive with new interpretations.

Content and repertoire: covers and unreleased tracks

The repertoire of Dilettevoli inedite eccedenze blends covers and unreleased tracks without following a single commercial logic, privileging aesthetic choices and a diversity of timbres, per ANSA. Among the songs cited in coverage are:

• "La mia serenata" (Jimmy Fontana), in which Mina revisits a classic Italian song;
• "Carrettieri" (Alfonso Gibilaro), performed in Sicilian dialect, highlighting the link to regional traditions;
• "Yes I Know My Way" (Pino Daniele), engaging with contemporary Neapolitan music;
• "Dans mon île" (Henri Salvador), underscoring the international reach of the repertoire;
• "Settembre" (Ivano Fossati), noted by coverage as the only track that is neither a cover nor an unreleased work in the strict sense — a re-recording already known in Mina's catalog;
• A flamenco-style version of Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby", reinforcing the experimentation with genres present on the record.

The selection was described by the artist's team as the product of choices preserved in Mina's archive and recordings made for this release, not prioritizing genre coherence or market alignment.

Mina's Archive: saved repertoire

ANSA notes that Mina maintains a vast archive of recordings, with thousands of items registered over her career. The new album takes advantage of this collection, combining old recordings with interventions and tracks produced recently, according to coverage. The exploration of this archive reinforces the project's role as both an artistic document and a personal curatorship by the performer.

Relevance for Brazilian readers and descendants of Italians

For readers in Brazil, especially descendants of Italians interested in Italian culture and music, the album offers relevant points of contact:

• the presence of contemporary Italian authors like Pino Daniele and Ivano Fossati shows the continuity of the Italian musical tradition;
• interpretations in Sicilian dialect and stylistic choices (a flamenco arrangement of a Beatles classic) illustrate the cultural plurality that permeates Italian music and its connections to the world;
• the project also serves as a window into how Italian artists preserve and reinterpret historical repertoire — a topic of interest for those following Italy's cultural scene and life in Italy.

What remains: aesthetics and personal curatorship

According to ANSA, the album's curation follows Mina's line of privileging vocal quality and interpretive uniqueness over market trends. Massimiliano Pani highlighted the intimate nature of the presentation: another moment of listening rather than a formal promotional act, reinforcing the idea that the release is also a revaluation of the artist's catalog.

The initiative reaffirms Mina's position as a reference in Italian music, both for her historical career and for the attention to arrangements and repertoires that cross borders and traditions.
