From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanna Daffini (22 April 1914 – 7 July 1969) was an Italian singer, associated with the Nuovo Canzoniere Italiano movement.
Born at Villa Saviola, in the province of Mantua, she started associating with travelling musicians from an early age. During the rice-growing season she worked in the rice-growing districts of Novara and Vercelli; it was here that she learned the folk-songs which would eventually make her famous. Later, she was accompanied by her husband Vittorio Carpi on violin, with whom she would perform at wedding dances and country festivals.[1]
In 1962 she recorded the song "Alla mattina appena alzata", a version of Bella Ciao, for the musicologists Gianni Bosio and Roberto Leydi.[2]
She died at Gualtieri (Reggio Emilia), where she had spent much of her life, in 1969.
