About Patty Pravo
Nicoletta Strambelli, known professionally as Patty Pravo, is an Italian singer. She debuted in 1966 and remained most successful commercially for the rest of the 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Having suffered a decline in popularity in the following decade, she experienced a career revival in mid-late 1990s and reinstated her position on Italian music charts. Her most popular songs include "La bambola" (1968), "Pazza idea" (1973), "Pensiero stupendo" (1978), and "...E dimmi che non vuoi morire" (1997). Pravo has sold over 110 million records worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling Italian music artists. She scored fourteen top 10 albums and twelve top 10 singles in her native Italy. Pravo participated at the Sanremo Music Festival eleven times, most recently in 2026, and has won three critics' awards. She also performed twelve times at the Festivalbar. Having secured a contract with RCA Italiana, Patty released her first single in late 1966, "Ragazzo triste" (English: "Sad Boy"), the Italian version of "But You're Mine" by Sonny & Cher. Although some of the lyrics caused objections from the national radio network RAI, it would be the first pop song broadcast on Vatican Radio, and reached the top 20 in the sales chart.
