# Il regalo più grande

"Il Regalo Più Grande" (English: "The Greatest Gift") is a song by Italian singer Tiziano Ferro. The song was written by Ferro for his fourth studio album, Alla Mia Età. The track was released as the album's second single on January 9, 2009.
Three different versions of the song were also recorded in Spanish under the title "El Regalo Más Grande". The first is a solo version by Ferro. The second version features Anahí and Dulce María of the Mexican pop group RBD. These two versions were included on the Latin American edition of A Mi Edad, the Spanish-language version of Alla Mia Età. This second version served as the second Spanish single from A Mi Edad. Although the single credited Anahí and Dulce María as solo acts, the Latin American edition of A Mi Edad credited RBD as the guest act in the CD itself. Lastly, a third Spanish version featuring former La Oreja de Van Gogh member, Amaia Montero, was also recorded. This version was included in the edition of A Mi Edad released for Spain, and served as the official Spanish-language version of the single promoted in the country.
