This song, on a par with the timeless "Pertini Dance" by S.C.O.R.T.A. released in 1984 as well, deals with Sandro Pertini who had been elected in 1978 the 7th President of the Italian Republic at the age of 81 (stayed in office until late June 1985). Considered as the "most loved president by the Italians", he inspired a few songs where he's been mentioned in some verses like this one or, besides S.C.O.R.T.A.'s, "Sotto La Pioggia" by Antonello Venditi (Ricordi - 1982 for the LP and Heinz Music - 1982 for the 7"), "Babbo Rock" by the Bolognese comedy punk band and inventors of the "Demential rock" Skiantos (Classicmix1982 - present only as a bonus track on the CD album "Pessissimo!" released in 2005 under the label Latlantide, a reissue from the 1980 LP under Cramps Records) and of course the epic "L'Italiano" by Toto Cutugno (Carosello - 1983 for the LP and the 7"). It's been also mentioned in the Indie-rock band Ex-Otago in their CD album "Tanti Saluti" (Riotmaker - 2007) with the song "Pertini Is A Genius, Mirinzini Is Not Famous".
