Dedicato a mio padre is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in 1967 by PDU and distributed by Durium.

Overview

In December 1967 Mina and her father Giacomo Mazzini opened their own record label, PDU – Platten Durcharbeitung Ultraphone, in Lugano, Switzerland. The founding of the label answered Mina's requests for independent creativity from producers.[3] One of the first releases on the label was Mina's album Dedicato a mio padre (English: Dedicated to my father).

Critical reception

In 2018 Giorgio Moltisanti from Rolling Stone placed it on the 6th place in the list of Mina's most underrated albums. Moltisanti stated that this is actually the peak from an artistic point of view, which, unfortunately, did not succeed in sales, comparing this result with Dusty in Memphis, which did not shine on the charts and was recognized only after a while.[4]
