Patty Pravo
Real Name: Nicoletta Strambelli
Italian singer born 9 April 1948 in Venice, Italy. Since the 1960s she has had a chameleon-like career that has seen her go through various musical styles, continually reinventing her image: from beat idol to sophisticated interpreter of Italian and French songwriters, then experimenting with funk, new wave and rock in its various forms. She has had international success with La Bambola (1968), Pazza Idea (1973), Pensiero Stupendo (1978) and ... E Dimmi Che Non Vuoi Morire (1997). In Italy she is seen by some as "an icon of elegance and transgression, which has contributed to the evolution of the costume by distorting every canon linked to the figure of the female interpreter in Italy".
