Background and recording
editOn 6 April 2009, an earthquake occurred in the region ofAbruzzo,in central Italy, causing the death of more than 300 people.[2]Wanting to support the reconstruction of the city, Italian singerJovanottidecided to call his colleague and friendGiuliano Sangiorgi,leader of the bandNegramaro.[3]Sangiorgi later declared:
"We were thinking of what we could do, because for the first time the scenes broadcast by televisions didn't look distant, but extremely close to us and painful. In the beginning, we were thinking of a concert, but it looked to be something too 'joyous' in front of such a tragedy. Therefore, we thought we could record a song, calling Mauro [Pagani] as the producer, in order to avoid doing things too close to the disaster."[4]
A few minutes later,Mauro Paganiwas contacted and accepted to collaborate to the project.[5] During the following days, the number of involved artists grew up to 56 different acts.[1]Other artists, includingIvano Fossati,Fiorella Mannoia,[6]andSubsonica,[4]had to decline the invitation because they could not reach the remaining acts in Milan during the recording session of the song, which was decided to be held in one single place, the Officine Meccaniche Recording Studio inMilan,during one single day, 21 April 2009.[6][7]
According to Jovanotti and Sangiorgi, the atmosphere during the recording process was "joyous and creative as if we were in a group of students. It looked like a demonstration. A historic day, or better, a dreamlike day."[1]
Commercial performance
editDuring the week ending on 14 May 2009, the song debuted at number one on theItalian Singles Chart,[8]later holding the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks.[9]During the week of 9 August 2009, the single fell to number two, behind "When Love Takes Over"byDavid GuettaandKelly Rowland.[10]It left the top twenty in mid-September 2009, after 18 consecutive weeks on the chart.[9]According to the charts compiled byNielsenfor theFederation of the Italian Music Industry,"Domani 21/04.09" was the best-selling digital single of 2009 in Italy.[11]The single was also certified multi-platinum for domestic downloads exceeding 60,000 units.[12]In April 2010, it was announced that the single had sold 450,000 physical copies and 74,000 digital copies in Italy.[13]
