The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?She taught Italy - and much of Europe and Latin America - to dance without apology. Raffaella Carrà turned prime-time television into a glittering, body-positive carnival at a moment when that alone was a feminist act, and the records she cut in four languages moved 60 million copies.

, Mina was not, but she is. Mina did not “leave a mark”, but she leaves one every day. [4]
I'm glad I didn't get big-headed, I have a lot of self-irony. You have to be at peace with yourself to do this job.
I would like to know why I, raised by a single mother, couldn't have a child as a single woman! I even thought about becoming Spanish.

About this person
Raffaella Maria Roberta Pelloni was born on 18 June 1943 and broke into Italian film before 20th Century Fox brought her to Hollywood, where she worked opposite Frank Sinatra, Edward Mulhare, and James Coburn. She also appeared in French and Spanish productions alongside Marcello Mastroianni, Jean Marais, and directors like Mario Monicelli. But the real turn came when she pivoted to music and television in the 1970s: 25 studio albums released across 37 countries, singing in Italian, Spanish, English, and French, with hits like "A far l'amore comincia tu," "Fiesta," and "Tuca tuca" that made her a pop culture fixture and an icon for feminism, LGBT communities, and fashion. She hosted major TV programs in Italy, Spain, and Argentina, collecting 12 Telegatto and two TP de Oro awards along the way. She died on 5 July 2021, and that September the Venice Film Festival gave her a posthumous award for her contributions to Italian music and showmanship.
