Pietra Montecorvino

Musician

Italian singer and actress, stage name Pietra Montecorvino (Barbara D'Alessandro), known for a visceral, raw vocal style and for performing Neapolitan and Mediterranean repertoire.

Stage name Pietra Montecorvino; real name Barbara D'Alessandro. Debuted publicly in the early 1980s (appearance in the film FF.SS., 1983, is noted in reviews). Has recorded Neapolitan and Mediterranean albums; 2015 album Pietra a metà is a tribute to Pino Daniele and Massimo Troisi. Reviews on DeBaser report a personal and professional connection with Eugenio Bennato (described as former partner and father of her two children in a DeBaser review).

Two DeBaser reviews show sharply divided opinions: one highly critical of a 2005 Neapolitan album, one praising a 2015 tribute work. Critics discuss Pietra's raw, visceral voice, Mediterranean arrangements, and her links to Pino Daniele and Eugenio Bennato.

For:Fans of Neapolitan and Mediterranean music; readers of DeBaser; listeners interested in visceral, theatrical vocalists.

 it\u0027s a ridiculous, terribly boring, monstrous CD and it\u0027s chilling.

 she is certainly one of the strongest we have, as well as among the very few true "greats" left on the scene.
