Italian: '''Cogli la prima mela''' ("Pick the first apple") is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Angelo Branduardi. It was released in 1979 by Polydor.
The title track is a re-imagining of a medieval Hungarian melody, entitled "Czech: U našeho Bárty|i=no" ("At our Bárty's"). Also the music of "Italian: Donna ti voglio cantare|i=no" ("Woman, I want to sing about you") is based on a medieval melody by Pierre Attaingnant, entitled "French, Middle (ca.1400-1600);: Tourdion|i=no", which Branduardi himself recorded for his later album Italian: Futuro antico II.
The lyrics to "Italian: La raccolta|i=no" ("The harvest") are taken from a poem by Sappho, while the music is from the Romanian folk ballad "Italian: M-am suit în dealul Clujului|i=no" ("I climbed the hill of Cluj"). Finally, the song "Italian: Ninna nanna|i=no" ("Lullaby") is the Italian version of "Mary Hamilton", an English traditional song also recorded by Joan Baez.
