The poignant text of this song was inspired by the singer-songwriter's experience as a volunteer in a mental institution in Rome and meant to create awareness of the reality of mental illness. It is sung from the point of view of someone who had been deemed insane and shut into a manicomio (insane asylum) for most of his life.

This song, which competed at the 2025 Italian Song Festival in Sanremo, is a love dedication from a son to his mother. An exchange of roles marked by time and mutual love.
