Amore e non amore (Love and non-love) is a concept album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in July 1971 by Dischi Ricordi.
The album focuses on the contraposition of "love" and "not-love". As a result, the LP is split in two definite "sides", each one made up of four songs:
- The "non-love" side, characterised by a rock and roll music style and lyrics referring to "non-love" situations (e.g. adultery, unrequited or obsessive love, etc.).
- The "love" side, characterised by instrumental tracks with long titles and a progressive rock music style.
The album was Italy's 10th best selling album in 1971,[3] though no song from this disc became nearly as popular as those included in Battisti's other albums from this period.
