#prontoacorrere is the second studio album by Italian singer Marco Mengoni, released by Sony Music Italy on 19 March 2013 and produced by Michele Canova.

The album was a commercial success in Italy, debuting at number one on the FIMI Albums Chart and being certified triple platinum for sales exceeding 150,000 units. Its leading single, "L'essenziale", won the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival and represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. After peaking at number one in Italy, the single became a minor hit in other European countries. #prontoacorrere also spawned the singles "Pronto a correre" and "Non passerai", both of which entered the top ten in Italy.

James Sayer of ESC Views wrote an extensive review on the album in June 2013, describing it as a record which "succeeds in amalgamating a number of more unexpected styles into one cohesive piece, driven by Marco's unmistakable vocals" and citing "La vita non ascolta" as a stand-out track.Musica e dischi's Katia Del Savio also gave a positive review to the album, noting it includes "at least two different souls: the gutsy one and the very sensitive one." Rockol.it's Pop Topoi was less impressed by #prontoacorrere, claiming it still lacks of a focused identity and describing Michele Canova's production as the element which keeps together the material on the album, but also hiding Mengoni's personality.

The album was preceded by the song "L'essenziale", which won the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival and was released as a single in February 2013. It debuted at number one on the Italian Albums Chart, and it was certified double platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry for domestic sales exceeding 60,000 units, later becoming the best-selling single in Italy during the first six months of 2013. "L'essenziale" also entered the top 40 in Switzerland, and it charted on the Belgian Ultratip charts both in Wallonia and the Flanders. After being performed as the Italian entry during the final of Eurovision Song Contest 2013, the song also debuted at number 44 on the Spanish Singles Chart and entered the charts in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.
