Description from the seller
Mina, 1970 (619)
nicknamed The Tigress of Cremona, is considered one of the greatest interpreters in the history of Italian music. She is known for her vocal qualities and for having starred in the 1960s and 1970s in numerous television shows broadcast by Rai. Her vocality is characterized by great breadth and range, able to combine vocal power with flexilibity, and sustained by a very solid technique; Mina also stands out for her interpretative gifts and eclecticism, which led her to successfully tackle musical genres often far apart. With over 150 million albums sold, she is the Italian musical artist with the most records sold worldwide. During her career, which began in the late fifties and continues to this day, Mina has interpreted more than 500 songs, achieving records and receiving awards and recognitions, with two participations at the Sanremo Music Festival.
Photographed exclusively for three evenings by Franco Turcati at the Mack1 in Turin in 1970. This photo is part of a sequence of her hand movement that she greatly appreciated.
The photo with Mina’s dedication is not part of the lot, it is present only as a reference.

Conservation advice for works
For optimal preservation of your Fine Art print:
Our Fine Art prints deserve special care to preserve their quality over time, avoiding yellowing or fading.
It is recommended to always handle them with clean, dry cotton gloves.
If framing, use a mat to avoid direct contact between the print and the glass.
Store the prints away from direct light. Even the materials of storage boxes are crucial: cartons containing lignin or with acidic pH can damage the print substrate and promote yellowing.
