Thanks Gennaro for nestling a tricky nina in a not too tricky puzzle with all the neatness and economy that marks you out as a great setter. 12a was a hoot, 19a wrapped a nice device in a not-so-obvious definition, 21a took me a while to see which way the anagrind was pointing, and 13d was another neat definition cloaking the clever wordplay. These amongst other gooduns.

Nice one, Gennaro. I love a bit of 18a so enjoyed this a lot (although I still can't see the hidden song). I found it pretty straightforward, with a handful needing a second go after lunch. Favourites included 9a, 12a (!!!!), 14a, 19a, 4d and 8d.
