I Giorni (2001) is a music album by the Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi. The album's title translates to "The Days" in English.

The solo piano track "I Giorni" has been featured on a BBC advert for arts and culture programmes.[1]

The same solo track has also been used in a commercial for the Indian telecom service provider Airtel, to launch its 3G services in the sub-continent in the November of 2010.[2]

The title track, "I Giorni" has had a lot of interest due to Greg James' airing in June 2011 of the piece on BBC Radio 1.[3] Due to repeated airings by Greg James that month, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at #32 on 12 June 2011.[4]
