Italian singer-songwriter and pop/rock artist active since the 1970s, known by the stage name La Rettore and for a colourful, transgressive 1980s image and hits such as "Splendido Splendente" and "Lamette".

Born 8 July 1955 in Castelfranco Veneto, Italy. Stage name La Rettore (often billed simply as Rettore). Frequently collaborated with Claudio Rego (mentioned in contemporary reviews).

DeBaser reviews praise Rettore's late 1970s/early 1980s output, especially the concept-packed Kamikaze Rock'n'Roll Suicide and the single "Lamette". Reviewers note her playful, danceable pop and rock leanings, her transgressive image, and lyrical authorship. Incantesimi Notturni is defended as a later strong record; Caduta Massi receives a negative appraisal. Claudio Rego is mentioned as a collaborator/mentor.

For:Fans of Italian 1980s pop, retro music listeners, music critics and researchers.

 Kamikaze rock'n'roll suicide is, however, first and foremost, the album of "Lamette", the summer single that Rettore introduces with a perfect kamikaze look;

 La Rettore is first and foremost a singer-songwriter (all or almost all of her lyrics are written by her) and her lyrics address topics of social denunciation and little-discussed taboo topics (at least at the time), making use of many double entendres.
