"Gocce di memoria" (transl. "Drops of memory") is a song written and recorded by Italian singer Giorgia. It was released on 20 March 2003 as a part of the official soundtrack of Ferzan Özpetek's film Facing Windows and later included on the singer's sixth studio album Ladra di vento.

An autobiographical song about the importance of memories, the only ones able to reconnect us with the people who have entered our lives and left a mark, it represents a tribute to singer Alex Baroni, Giorgia's partner until his 2002 death from a motorcycle accident. The song won the Nastro d'Argento award for Best Original Song, and three Italian Music Awards for Best Single, Best Composition and Best Arrangement.
