My Take
Caselli is the kind of career I find endlessly compelling. She started as a singer in 1960s Italy, then refused to stay boxed in, picking up bass, composing, and ultimately moving behind the scenes as a record producer and music executive. In an era when women rarely held real power in the industry, she carved out exactly that, which I think deserves far more recognition than a single tagline allows. The David di Donatello win confirms the artistry, but it is the business instinct paired with that artistry that impresses me. She is, to my mind, a genuinely indispensable figure in Italy's musical history.
