After Eurovision song contest 1984 with Franco Battiato and songs co-written and produced by him Alice decided to cover an album full of his songs but this time Battiato himself wan't involved in production at all. The songs in Gioielli rubati aka Stolen jewels are from 1979-1983 from Battiato's million selling hit era and very well known in Italy but Alice managed to make most of them her own and these days some songs are better known as her versions, like Prospettiva Nevski, a song he released in his 1980 album Patriots. Her version became her biggest hit since Sanremo 1981 winner Per Elisa and further cemented her success in Northern and German speaking Europe. The album features strings throughout my Milan's world famous La Scala opera house.
In their joint tour and live album in 2016 they sung the song in duet. And again on her 2022 Eri con me hommage to late Battiato.
E il mio maestro mi insegnò com'è difficile trovare l'alba
Dentro l'imbrunire
E il mio maestro taught me how difficult it is to find the light
inside the dusk
