Gianna Nannini (born 14 June 1954, Siena, Italy) is an Italian singer-songwriter and rock performer who rose to prominence in the late 1970s and especially the 1980s. She is noted for a raspy, powerful voice, energetic stage presence, and a string of hit albums and singles across Europe.

Reviewed works repeatedly mention collaborations with producer Conny Plank, major commercial success in Germany/Austria/Switzerland in the early 1980s, and signature songs such as "Fotoromanza", "Bello e impossibile" and "I maschi"; critics highlight her 1980s production, new wave/electronic influences and enduring live presence.

Reviews on DeBaser emphasize Gianna Nannini's 1980s peak (Latin Lover, Puzzle) and her husky, energetic voice. Critics note strong collaborations (notably Conny Plank), successful European reception, and occasional uneven later work. Overall the consensus is appreciative with reservations.

For:Fans of Italian rock, 1980s new wave/electronic-influenced pop, and listeners curious about Gianna Nannini's peak albums.

 “Fotoromanza? With producer Conny Plank we spent a week in a cottage to find the right rhythm. We moved like baby elephants, sort of similarly, the whole body together” (Gianna Nannini)
