Lorenzo 2002 – Il quinto mondo is the ninth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Jovanotti.^[1]

As with Jovanotti's previous releases, Il quinto mondo reflects the singer's activism in areas such as politics, globalization, human rights and ecology, as well as his interest in world music, although love songs are also represented. The main single from the album, "Salvami" ("Save Me"), contains a controversial reference to the Italian right-wing war reporter Oriana Fallaci as "the journalist-writer who loves war because it reminds her of the times when she was young and beautiful"^[2] and it was mentioned in Tiziano Terzani's anti-war book Lettere contro la guerra.^{[3] [4]}
