Raffella Carrà und Loretta Goggi – zwei Ikonen des italienischen Fernsehens und ihre Lieder

Abstract

Since the early times of television, music has played a major role in many television programs, with some of the presenters even acting as singers. In Italy, Loretta Goggi and Raffaella Carrà have managed to realize a double career as television stars and singers, especially in the 1970s and 1980s. Both of them had several hits and were present in the charts, not only in Italy, but also in other
countries like Germany or Spain. They both presented the Sanremo Music Festival of the Italian Canzone and Loretta Goggi even took part in the competition. In Italy, they are also well known as singers of famous television themes and have created many emblematic songs that have contributed to their popularity even among the younger generations. In fact, Loretta Goggi and Raffaella Carrà
made a comeback in the new millennium with new television programs and reached the status of icons of the Italian song and Italian television. Raffaella Carrà’s death in 2021 triggered a wave of national mourning across the generations, thus transforming her into a modern legend.
