From her early days on stage with the Piccolo Teatro in Milan under director Giorgio Strehler to becoming the charismatic interpreter of songs such as Senza Fine, Domani è un altro giorno and L’appuntamento, Vanoni carved out a place in Italian culture as much more than a pop singer—she was a storyteller of love, loss and the everyday.
Her voice, rich with emotional texture, and her elegant presence made her a fixture of the Italian music scene.
She sold tens of millions of records, collaborated with artists from Brazil, jazz and pop, and evolved over time.
The passing of Vanoni leaves a void in Italian music—one filled, at least in part, by the legacy of performances that will continue to resonate.
As Italy’s culture minister observed, the country has lost “a unique artist who leaves us with an unrepeatable artistic heritage”.
