"L'uomo volante" (Italian pronunciation: [ˈlwɔːmo voˈlante]; transl. "The Flying Man") is a 2004 song by Italian singer-songwriter Marco Masini, written with Giuseppe Dati and Goffredo Orlandi. With this song, Masini won the Sanremo Music Festival 2004, receiving as well the Volare Award for Best Lyrics and the Radio and TV Press Award.[1]
This was Masini's second win at the Sanremo Music Festival, after winning the newcomer section in 1990 with the song "Disperato".[2] The song was released as a single, and after the festival it was included in the album Masini, a reprint of Marco's 2003 compilation album …il mio cammino.
