Dove si vola is the first studio EP by Italian singer Marco Mengoni. The album peaked at number 9 in the Italian Albums Chart[1] and sold more than 70,000 copies in Italy, receiving Platinum certification from the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.

Background and release

In December 2009, Mengoni won the third series of the Italian talent show X-Factor. The 7-track EP was recorded during his experience at the singing contest, and it was released on 4 December 2009,[2] two days after he was announced winner of The X-Factor.[3] [4]

Dove si vola includes the previously unreleased song with the same title, written by Bungaro and Saverio Grandi[5] and released as lead single. Mengoni sang it for the first time on 25 November 2009, during the semi-final live show of the talent show. The other tracks are "Lontanissimo da te", and 5 covers of popular Italian and international songs, chosen from the ones that his judge Morgan assigned him during the competition.[6]
