"Gianna" is a 1978 song by Italian singer-songwriter, Rino Gaetano.
The song was the twelfth best-selling single in Italy in 1978.[2] According to one of the many interpretations that have been proposed[3], the song "Gianna" ironically describes Freemasonry and Italian politics, made up of illusions, promises, sex, money, materialism, and business acumen.
Having become one of Gaetano's best-known songs over the years, "Gianna" ranked third at the 1978 Sanremo Music Festival. It is also the first song in the festival's history to contain the word "sex" in the lyrics.
