"Una storia che vale" (A worthwhile story) is a song by Italian recording artist Laura Pausini, released in February 2002 as the second single from her first compilation album, The Best of Laura Pausini: E ritorno da te. Pausini also released a Spanish-language version of the song, titled "Dos historias iguales" (Two equal stories). This version was inserted on the album Lo mejor de Laura Pausini: Volveré junto a ti and was released as the album's second single in Spain and Latin America. The Italian version was released as the last single from the album.

Both versions were transmitted on the radio, with two videoclips being recorded and released.

During the promotion of Pausini's 2003 English language album, a list of the songs that would be present on that album was leaked. An English version of Una storia che vale, named "Can't Turn Back Time" is said to exist, but has never been released by Pausini in any album.

The music video

The music video (in Italian and Spanish), was directed by Daniele Persica and shot during the night in the outskirts of Rome and during the day at one of the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport terminals.^[1]

The music videos of Una storia che vale and Dos historias iguales were inserted on the Live 2001-2002 World Tour, along with the Making of the video.

The video begins with Pausini at the airport, waiting for someone. As the first chorus ends, a car is shown leaving a parking lot. Pausini is shown again at the airport. Then, a cut happens and Pausini is shown once more, but now driving the car that left the parking lot before. As the song progresses, a car chase between Pausini and another driver is shown, with Pausini winning at the end and smiling at the camera.
