G. N. is the fourth studio album by Gianna Nannini, released in 1981. It has been described as "tense and transitional",[1] and characterized by "a quite heterogeneous tracklist that lacks overall cohesion".[2] Ondarock wrote about it: "A convulsive and cosmopolitan rock dominates, more in step with the times than the previous album, permeated at times with new wave flavours".[3] The leading single "Vieni ragazzo" ranked second at Festivalbar.[3] The songs "Vieni ragazzo" and "Come un treno" were included in the soundtrack of Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman.[4]
