Beloved Italian singer Ornella Vanoni, whose career spanned 70 years, dies at 91

NICOSIA, CYPRUS - Ornella Vanoni, one of Italy’s most cherished and enduring performers, has died at the age of 91, closing a remarkable career that stretched across seven decades and helped shape the nation’s musical identity. Known for timeless international hits such as “Senza Fine” and “L’appuntamento,” Vanoni became a cultural icon whose voice, artistry, and versatility resonated across generations. She passed away at her home in Milan after suffering cardiac arrest. Her death prompted an outpouring of tributes, including from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who praised Vanoni’s unmistakable voice and her irreplaceable contribution to Italy’s artistic heritage.

Born in Milan in 1937, Vanoni began her artistic journey in theater and even performed on Broadway in 1964 before fully embracing music, where her distinctive style and expressive delivery set her apart. Over her career, she recorded more than 100 albums and sold more than 55 million copies worldwide, earning the enduring title of “The Lady of Italian Song.” Her personal and artistic partnership with Gino Paoli produced the breakthrough 1961 hit “Senza Fine,” which catapulted her onto the global stage. Vanoni went on to collaborate with prominent musicians including Gil Evans, Herbie Hancock, and George Benson, further demonstrating her ability to blend jazz, pop, and sophisticated vocal interpretation.

Her legacy also includes a strong presence in Italy’s most celebrated music festivals, particularly the Sanremo Music Festival, where she competed eight times and secured second place in 1968 with “Casa Bianca.” Vanoni was not only a celebrated vocalist but also a respected songwriter, becoming the only Italian artist to win the prestigious Tenco Award twice in that category and the only woman ever to achieve the honor. In her later years, she remained a beloved figure on television, valued for her spirited storytelling, candid personality, and refusal to conform to expectations. Her passing marks the end of an era, leaving behind an extraordinary artistic legacy that will continue to influence Italian music for decades to come.
