"Il Mondo" ('The World') is a song composed by Carlo Pes, Lilli Greco, Gianni Meccia and Jimmy Fontana, and performed by Jimmy Fontana. Arrangements were from Ennio Morricone. The song premiered at the 1965 edition of Un disco per l'estate.

The single peaked at first place for four weeks between July and October 1965 on the Italian hit parade. It was the most successful song of Fontana.

The song was adapted in English by Robert Mellin with the title "My World", and recorded by The Ray Charles Singers, The Bachelors and Engelbert Humperdinck. A French version titled "Un monde fait pour nous" was recorded by Hervé Vilard and by Richard Anthony. Fontana himself took a Spanish version, titled "El Mundo", to the top of the Spanish charts in 1965.[4] The Spanish version was also covered by popular Cuban singer Roberto Faz and Mexican singer Javier Solis.
