"{{lang|it|Un'emozione da poco|i=no}}" ({{translation|"An emotion of little value"}}) is a 1978 song composed by Guido Guglielminetti (music) and Ivano Fossati (lyrics), arranged by Ruggero Cini and performed by Italian singer Anna Oxa.
Background
The song premiered at the 28th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, where Oxa performed it in a much discussed new-wave make-up conceived by Ivan Cattaneo and inspired by David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed's look of the time.{{cite book|last=Anselmi, Eddy |title=Festival di Sanremo: almanacco illustrato della canzone italiana|publisher=Panini Comics |date=2009|isbn=978-8863462296|page=291|chapter=Un'emozione da poco}}{{cite book|last=Salvatori, Dario |title=Dizionario delle canzoni italiane|publisher=Elle U|isbn=8888169016|page=132|chapter=Un'emozione da poco|year=2001}} It eventually ranked second in the festival, and turned to be a surprise hit and Oxa's breakthrough.
