In memory of Mia Martini, the great voice killed by gossips.
The 12 May 1995 alone 47 years ago Mia Martini passed away due to cardiac arrest: an artist who made music a reason for living.
What remains today of Mia Martini? They passed exactly 23 years: it was the 12 May 1995 when Mia Martini left forever, alone 47 years due to a “cardiac arrest”. Mimi, that he had not just made music a job but a real reason for living, achieved success in 1972 with Success with “Little man” e – after his career took a hit due to a stupid rumor – managed to be reborn on the Ariston stage with “At least you in the universe”, now a classic of Italian pop song.
His lifeless body was found two days after his death, the 14 May 1995, in the apartment in Cardano al Campo (VA), where the singer had moved to mend the stormy relationship with her father.
Sister of Loredana Bertè, was born in Bagnara Calabra and moved with his family first to Ancona and then to Rome. She began singing at a very young age, but success came in the 70s with “Little man”, precisely, but also with “Minuet”, “Inno” e “Father indeed”.
The 80s were also full of immortal songs, come “And the sky doesn't end there”, song written for her by Ivano Fossati, great love of his life, who did not win Sanremo but won the Critics' Award which was established specifically for her.
Envy and gossip they then decided it was time to take on Mia Martini. After a concert, one of the members of his group died. “Brings bad luck”, it began to be told in the evil environment of showbiz: better to keep her away from the stage. And for years Martini was forced to stay away from the scene: no invitation, no collaboration. In the end his voice won over the gossip, with the incredible performance of “At least you in the universe” dall’Ariston. The song, written by Bruno Lauzi and Maurizio Fabrizio, won the critics' award: the audience was won over. For Mia Martini it was a rebirth, but the years of forced exile left their mark. The last years of his all-too-short career were dotted with other successes, come “men do not change”, “Donna” e “With 'mmè”.
Mia Martini then decided to leave the scene making a noise, depriving everyone of his art and his wonderful voice: a silence that today, twenty years later, it still hurts today.
