More specifically, it's an Italian language (obviously) cover version of the Stones' "Paint It Black." From a recent (2022) period heist movie (set during WW II) called Robbing Mussolini. And no, I never heard of it (the film) either, but Wiki informs me it was ill-received by critics. The track itself, being warbled by fetching co-star Matilda De Angelis, is apparently also featured on some compilation album somewhere, but I have not been able to track it down so far.
In any case, I haven't decided what I think about that musically (IMHO the film looks interesting, though), and as a companion piece, it occurred to me to dredge up the Italian language remake the Stones did of "As Tears Go By" (one presumes for the Eurovision Song Contest) back in 1965. So here it is.
Hadn't heard that in ages. A harmless bit of shlock, obviously, but certainly not their finest hour. 😎😎

The movie is Netflix. I have no idea if it is still in rotation there.
If Amazon is any measure, and if the translation is correct, seems like a very popular song to cover in Italian:
