"Bella da morire" ('Drop-dead gorgeous') is a 1977 song written by Renato Pareti and Alberto Salerno and performed by pop-rock band Homo Sapiens. It won the 27th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival and was a major commercial success, becoming the band's signature song.

Reception

The song has been described as "consisting of minimalist pictorial details over a subtle melody, embroidered on a light background of guitars and keyboards that serves to launch a catchy refrain" and as "full of falsettos and banal rhymes, certainly not shining in terms of originality".
