"La collina dei ciliegi" (lit. 'The cherry tree hill') is a 1973 song composed by Lucio Battisti (music) and Mogol (lyrics), arranged by Gian Piero Reverberi and performed by Lucio Battisti.
The complex lyrics, behind the metaphorical story of two lovers, are a more general invitation to abandon prudence and traditions and embrace freedom. The song has been described as "an iridescent folk rock that revives Mogol's pantheism, rudimentary but effective".
Battisti recorded the song in Spanish as "La colina de las cerazas".
