Mina
Mina Anna Mazzini, known mononymously as Mina, is an Italian singer and former actress. She was a staple of television variety shows and a dominant figure in Italian pop and rock and roll music from the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, known for her three-octave vocal range, the agility of her soprano voice, and her image as an emancipated woman.
