With this orchestra Nannini went on a European tour from 2004 to 2005.

In April 2007, Nannini released Pia come la canto io, a collection of songs produced by Wil Malone and originally intended for a rock opera based on the medieval Tuscan character Pia de' Tolomei (briefly mentioned in Dante Alighieri's Purgatorio) that would eventually be performed in 2008 after eleven months of gestation.

Fiat would later include another Gianna Nannini song, "Aria", in a subsequent Fiat Bravo ad.
Duets and collaborations
In 1987, she performed with Sting, Jack Bruce and Eberhard Schoener the "Three Penny Opera" by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill at the Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. In 1990, she and Edoardo Bennato sang "Un'estate italiana", the official song of the 1990 FIFA World Cup composed by Giorgio Moroder. In September 2006, she recorded the single "Because We Believe (Ama credi e vai)" with Andrea Bocelli. Nannini was also featured on Einstürzende Neubauten member Alexander Hacke's solo album Sanctuary, on the track "Per Sempre Butterfly". In 2008, she duetted with the Italian rapper Fabri Fibra in his song "In Italia". She also sang the song "Aria" with the Macedonian vocalist Toše Proeski.

Personal life
Nannini's younger brother Alessandro Nannini (born 1959) and her first cousin once removed Matteo Nannini (born 2003) are both racing drivers, with Matteo still racing in Indy NXT.
Nannini obtained a degree in philosophy from the University of Siena in 1994, when in her late 30s. In 1995 she took part in a protest organized by Greenpeace at the French embassy in Rome against the decision of the French government to pursue nuclear experiments at Mururoa. The test occurred on 27 December 1995.
In August 2010, at the age of 56, Nannini announced that she was pregnant (the name of the father was not revealed). Nannini's pregnancy was prominently featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, where she was portrayed wearing a T-shirt with the inscription "God is a Woman". On 26 November 2010 Nannini's daughter Penelope Jane Charlotte was born in Milan. In 2017, Nannini decided to move to London with her partner, Carla. In her 2017 autobiography, entitled Cazzi miei, she revealed she was ready for a civil union with Carla, explaining she felt Italian laws could not give her any guarantee about Penelope's future in the case of Nannini's death.
The Netflix biopic Beautiful Rebel (Sei nell'anima), released in 2024 and starring Letizia Toni, documented Nannini's rise as a singer, punctuated by rebellions against her family, record companies and producers, and social conventions in Italy.
