https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O43sIvgtSY

Perdere l'amore is a song sung by Massimo Ranieri, winner of the Sanremo Festival 1988. During the years when the Festival of the vote was tied to the Totip competition, this song won the most votes and the best separation from second classified. The song was also ranked first in Italy for five consecutive weeks.

It was written by Marcello Marrocchi and Giampiero Artegiani. Presented to the selections of the previous year's Festival, the interpretation of Gianni Nazzaro, was discarded; Nazzaro took issue over the years following this decision, which considered it contradictory and partial.

The song, along with the victory, he was able to revive Ranieri in music, after they had spent at least the last two decades theatrical activity. The interpretation, not only voice but also facial expressions, which he gave during the Sanremo performances, resented his actor's mood and helped to express the theme of the song itself, which speaks of a painful separation experienced by a man no longer young. The success over the years made this song perhaps the most acclaimed by the public, during his live concerts, according to the same Ranieri.

The B-side of the single was Where is the poet, written by the same authors, and also part of the album that would come out of there in a month, with the same title of the individual.

The introduction to the piano, became famous because it already takes up the theme of the chorus is played by Sergio Conforti, real name Rocco tank, keyboardist Elio e le Storie Tese. The arrangement of the song as the album Losing Love, is Lucio Fabbri. The sax solo before the last chorus is played by Paul Panigada, real name Feiez, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist of the same Elio e le Storie Tese [1].

Lara Fabian and Di Quinto Rocco have recorded two cover versions of Losing love.
