TALIJANSKA DIVA

Umrla Nilla Pizzi, prva pobjednica Sanrema

FILE - In this 2003 file photo Nilla Pizzi waves to fans during the "Festival di Sanremo" Italian song contest at the Ariston theater in San Remo, Italy. Nilla Pizzi, winner of the first San Remo festival, and whose voice was deemed too sensual to sing on radio during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, died on Saturday, March 12, 2011. She was 91, said RAI state TV, which broadcasts the week-long festival of Italian song each year. The Italian President Giorgio Napolitano in a condolence message hailed Pizza as a "sensitive and popular interpreter of the Italian melodic tradition." During fascist rule in the years before World War II, Pizzi was kept away from radio work because her voice was deemed too "modern, exotic and sensual," the Italian news agency said.

RIM - Nilla Pizzi (91) umrla je u subotu u Milanu. Bila je kraljica talijanske kancone u doba prije Modugna.

Počela je 1940. pjevajući za talijanske trupe, odstranjena je s radija 1944. jer joj je glas bio presenzualan za fašiste, osvojila je prvo i drugo na prvom festivalu u Sanremu 1951 pjesmom (pobjednica: „Grazie dei fior“), a godinu kasnije sva tri prva mjesta.

Javno je nastupala (u živo) sve do lani, sačuvavši pristojan volumen glasa i izvrsnu intonaciju. Smrt ju je prekinula u snimanju posljednjega od dvjestotinjak albuma.
