My Take
What floors me about Patty Pravo is sheer endurance. Born Nicoletta Strambelli in Venice and trained at a music high school there, she debuted in 1966 and ruled Italian pop through the late sixties and seventies, then did the hardest thing in show business: she came back, reclaiming the charts in the mid-to-late nineties after a fallow decade. Awards like the Telegatto and a Nastro d'argento for best original song hint at an artist who chased her own vision rather than passing trends. Reinventing your image across half a century while staying unmistakably yourself is rare, and I think the diva title fits her completely.
Overview
Nicoletta Strambelli (born 9 April 1948), known professionally as Patty Pravo, is an Italian singer. She debuted in 1966 and remained most successful commercially for the rest of the 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Having suffered a decline in popularity in the following decade, she experienced a career revival in mid-late 1990s and reinstated her position on Italian music charts.
