Stato di necessità is the fourth studio album of Italian singer-songwriter Carmen Consoli, released in 2000. The album followed the Consoli's participation in the Sanremo Music Festival 2000 with the song "In bianco e nero", and marked a significant change of style, with a softer and more acoustic sound.[1] The title refers to Consoli's determination to embark on a new artistic phase of her career, and the song "Orfeo" is considered its manifesto.[2] The album was recorded at the Waterbird Studio in Catania. It was the most successful album of Consoli, selling over 300,000 copies. A "Stato di necessità Tour" with over fifty dates followed the release of the album.
A French-language version of the album titled État de necessité was produced by Henri Salvador and released in 2002.
