Franco Turcati - Patty Pravo (1966)

Patty Pravo (1966)

Patty Pravo, whose real name is Nicoletta Strambelli, is one of the most beloved icons of Italian music. Her career began in the 1960s, when she made her debut on the musical scene with the single "Ragazzo triste," one of the first Italian songs inspired by British beat. Since then, Patty Pravo has captivated audiences with her unmistakable voice and unique style, blending pop, rock and light music. In the 1960s she rose to fame thanks to hits like "La bambola" and "Il paradiso," which secured her a place in the history of Italian music, crowning her as "La ragazza del Piper," the famous Roman venue symbolizing that generation.
