Gente (English: People) is an Italian-language song recorded by Laura Pausini and written by Cheope, Marco Marati and Angelo Valsiglio.[1] It was released in 1994 as the second single from Pausini's second album, Laura. The song bears a striking resemblance to the Marco Ferradini song "Teorema."

A Spanish-language version of the song was published by Pausini in her 1994's album Laura Pausini. Both versions of the song were re-recorded with a new arrangement by Celso Valli for Pausini's first greatest hits album, The Best of Laura Pausini: E ritorno da te / Lo mejor de Laura Pausini: Volveré junto a ti[2] and later would be re-recordered with a new arrangement for Pausini's second greatest hits album, 20 - The Greatest Hits / 20 - Grandes Éxitos.
