Dolcenera nel paese delle meraviglie is the fourth studio album by Italian singer Dolcenera, released on 18 February 2009. It is her first album released on Sony Music Italy. The lead single from the album, "Il mio amore unico", became the most successful single by Dolcenera so far, peaking at number five on the Italian Singles Chart and reaching the top spot on the Italian airplay chart.
The album also spawned the singles "La più bella canzone d'amore che c'è" and "Un dolce incantesimo".
Dolcenera started working on the album in 2006, and the 12 tracks were recorded between June and October 2008 in Prato. The singer revealed in an interview that she wrote more than 70 songs for the album, and that she spent two months to define the final track list of the album.
In December 2008, it was announced that Dolcenera would participate in the 59th Sanremo Music Festival, competing in the section "Artisti" with the song "Il mio amore unico". She later revealed that the song was not initially intended to be sung during the popular singing contest; since the album was ready to be published in the days during which the Festival took place, her recording label suggested her to promote it through the Festival.
The title of the album was revealed in early February 2009 and the first single from the album, "Il mio amore unico", was performed for the first time on 17 February 2009, when it opened the competition in the San Remo Music Festival. The digital version of the album was released on 18 February 2009, while the Compact Disc edition was published two days later.
On 26 January 2010 the album was re-released in a pocket DBS version.
The title of the album, Dolcenera nel paese delle meraviglie (in English "Dolcenera in Wonderland") is clearly inspired by Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Moreover, the cover of the album represents the singer with several body painting tattoos, representing characters from the popular novel, such as the White Rabbit, and related symbols, including the four French playing card suits and a clock.
