"Stessa spiaggia, stesso mare" (English: "Same beach, same sea") is a song written by Piero Soffici and Mogol. Italian singer Piero Focaccia was the first to record the song,^[2] but Mina released the song about a month earlier. It is noteworthy that Mina uses the same arrangement as in the original, rather than adapting it for herself as she used to do with cover versions.^[3]

Despite the boycott by RAI and the absence of any promotion due to the well-known events related to Mina's affair with married actor Corrado Pani, the song becomes a hit.^[4] It debuted at number thirteen on the Italian singles chart and peaked at number four in the seventh week of its stay, while the song spent a total of fourteen weeks on the chart.^[5] The B-side was the song "Ollallà Gigi", which was written by Vito Pallavicini and Vittorio Buffoli; both songs were performed with an orchestra conducted by Tony De Vita.^[1]

Focaccia's version was also a success, winning the Un disco per l'estate competition and launching his career.^[6]

Later, Mina re-recorded the song "Stessa spiaggia, stesso mare" in French ("Tout s'arrange quand on s'aime", lyrics by André Salvet and Claude Carrère)^[7] and in Spanish ("La misma playa", lyrics by Manuel Salina).^[8]
