Mina con bignè is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in November 1977 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana.

According to tradition, in 1977, Mina recorded one album with new songs, and another (Mina quasi Jannacci) with cover versions. Originally, both albums were sold together as a double album, later they went on sale separately.

Critical reception

Claudio Milano of OndaRock [it] highlighted the song "Ormai" in the album, stating that Mina had created a new form of drama by reaching artistic maturity. In 2015 Panorama magazine named Mina con bignè among the ten fundamental albums by Mina. Carlo Gibertini from Rolling Stone magazine included "Ma che bontà" in the list of the 15 best Italian songs about food, calling it "brilliant".
