AI-assisted summary
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 programs broadcast by Rai. Her vocality is characterized by great breadth and extension, able to combine vocal power with versatility, and is supported by a very solid technique; Mina also stands out for her interpretative skills and eclecticism, which have led her to successfully tackle musical genres often far apart from one another. With over 150 million albums sold, she is the Italian artist with the most records sold worldwide. During her career, which began in the late fifties and is still ongoing, Mina has interpreted more than 500 songs, achieving records and receiving awards and recognitions, with two participations at the Sanremo Festival.
Photographed exclusively for three evenings by Franco Turcati at Mack1 in Turin in 1970. This photo is part of a sequence of her hand movements which she greatly appreciated.
The signed photo of Mina is not part of the lot; it is present only as a reference.
