Her blonde bob cut was the protagonist of the lives of all Italians: it is the TV presenter and singer Raffaella Carrà who died at 78 years old.
Who was Raffaella Carrà
As she herself stated in an interview, the Italian showgirl and TV presenter Raffaella Carrà has revolutionized the way of dancing on television and given fundamental support for women’s emancipation in the 1960s:
I changed the way people dance on television. Since in 1970 I did Me, Agata and you, where I asked for three minutes to perform in my own way, with the head, the hair, the freedom of the body, singing not only with the vocal cords, but with the whole body. That was a style that went on for many years.
La Carrà was born in Bologna on June 18, 1943. At the age of eight he decides that his path is that of dancing and for this reason he moves to live in Rome, where he enrolls in theNational Academy of Dance. In the fifties he made his first experiences on the big screen and on the radio, where he conducted his own radio program. Later he will land on Italian television, thanks to which he will accompany Italians from the seventies until today with Television programs very successful.
During his career he caused scandal, during the edition of Canzonissima in which he joined Corrado, showing off her navel on display to millions of Italians but also arduously supported the feminist cause in the 1960s. His talents in singing and dancing have materialized not only in the many musical albums and hits how Tuca tuca; Fiesta; You start making love (later chosen by Paolo Sorrentino as the soundtrack of his film The great beauty); Noise is Pedro but also with the television programs he has conducted, the last of which in chronological order is You begin to tell.
Private life and curiosity
As for his love life, the showgirl has long been linked to the director Gianni Boncompagni, with whom he had an intense relationship from 1969 to 1980. Later he met the choreographer Sergio Japino, with whom he had another affair. Carrà has never married and hasn’t had any son.
