"Gocce di memoria" (transl. "Drops of memory") is a 2003 song composed by Andrea Guerra (music) and Giorgia (lyrics) and performed by Giorgia. One of Giorgia's major hits, it is the theme song of the Ferzan Özpetek's film Facing Windows.
An autobiographical song about the importance of memories, the only ones able to reconnect us with the people who have entered our lives and left a mark, it represents a tribute to singer Alex Baroni, Giorgia's partner until his 2002 death from a motorcycle accident.{{cite news |last1=Redazione |title=Diciassette anni senza Alex Baroni, il ricordo da brividi di Giorgia |url=https://www.today.it/media/musica/giorgia-ricorda-alex-baroni.html |access-date=4 September 2023 |work=Today |date=13 April 2019 |language=it}} The song won the Nastro d'Argento award for best original song,{{cite news |last1=Fusco |first1=Maria Pia |title=Nastro d' argento a Salvatores |url= |work=La Repubblica |date=15 June 2003 |page=45}} and three Italian Music Awards as best single, best composition and best arrangement.{{cite news |last1=Luzzatto Fegiz |first1=Mario |title=Oscar della musica italiana a Consoli, Eros e Vibrazioni |work=Corriere della Sera |date=16 December 2003}}
