From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Mia Martini (Bagnara Calabra, Reggio Calabria, September 20, 1947 - Cardano al Campo, Varese, May 12, 1995), pseudonym of Domenica Bertè, was a popular and critical acclaimed Italian singer.

Mia was born in 1947 in Bagnara Calabra, but soon she moved to Rome with her sister (Loredana Bertè) and her friend (Renato Zero). The both of them would have become eventually successful singers too.

She recorded her first records with her real name Mimì Bertè, but she soon decided to change her name to the more appealing Mia Martini.

Her biggest hits were "Piccolo Uomo",which was recorded in several languages, "Almeno Tu Nell'Universo", which is considered her masterpiece and has been covered by several famous italian singers including Mina and Elisa, and "Minuetto" among many others.

Her career ended tragically in 1995 when she was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her apartment near Milan.
