The Profile

Mia Martini (born Domenica Bertè, 1947–1995) was an Italian singer celebrated for her expressive vocal style and a repertoire that bridged pop and canzone d’autore. She rose to prominence in the 1970s with hits like Piccolo uomo and Minuetto, returned powerfully in the late 1980s with Almeno tu nell’universo, and remained active until 1995.

Sister of Loredana Bertè. The Sanremo Critics’ Award is named in her honor. Iconic recordings include Piccolo uomo (1972), Minuetto (1973), Almeno tu nell’universo (1989), the album Lacrime (1992), and the covers set La musica che mi gira intorno (1994).

Reviews portray Mia Martini as a singular Italian voice: fearless in themes, towering in interpretation, and surrounded by first-rate authors. Her 70s peak (Oltre la collina, Nel mondo, una cosa, Il giorno dopo) meets a moving 90s coda (Lacrime) and a swan song of revered covers (La musica che mi gira intorno). Collaborations with Lauzi, Califano and Fossati recur. The writing praises her emotional truth and artistic courage.
