The Profile

Mia Martini (1947–1995) was an Italian singer from Bagnara Calabra, renowned for her powerful, emotive voice. Sister of Loredana Bertè, she achieved major success in the 1970s and returned to prominence at Sanremo in 1989 with Almeno tu nell’universo.

Real name Domenica Bertè; key hits include Piccolo uomo (1972), Minuetto (1973), E non finisce mica il cielo (Sanremo 1982), Almeno tu nell’universo (Sanremo 1989), and Gli uomini non cambiano (Sanremo 1992). Collaborated with Bruno Lauzi, Dario Baldan Bembo, Ivano Fossati, and others. The Sanremo Critics’ Prize is named after her.

Reviews celebrate Mia Martini’s unique voice and fearless repertoire, from early 70s milestones to her late-career peaks. Standouts include Minuetto, Piccolo uomo, and the Sanremo-era Almeno tu nell’universo and Gli uomini non cambiano. Themes range from love and disillusion to social issues rarely addressed in Italian pop. The consensus: an extraordinary interpreter whose recordings remain essential.

Notable Quotes

❝ Mia Martini, or when the “belcanto all'italiana” acquires real nobility, is not understood as trills, vocal exercises, and the nonsense learned in conservatories coupled with the most total and catatonic artistic nothingness.
❝ Fragile, stubborn, melancholic, sincere, unstable, moody, transparent, reserved, monomaniacal, sorrowful—these are just some adjectives to describe Mia Martini.
❝ Mia Martini, as far as the writer is concerned, is the greatest Italian singer.
