ROME (Reuters) - Raffaella Carra, one of Italy’s best-loved singers and television presenters, who became almost as famous as a symbol of sexual liberation in Spain and South America as in her own country, died on Monday aged 78.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said Carra, “with her laughter and her generosity accompanied generations of Italians and took the name of Italy around the world”.
Carra, whose real name was Raffaella Pelloni, shot to fame as a pop singer in the 1970s when her sensual dancing, revealing costumes and sexually confident lyrics were ground-breaking in Catholic Italy.
