Carla Boni (2008)

Carla Boni (born July 17, 1925 in Ferrara as Carla Gaiano , † October 17, 2009 in Rome ) was an Italian singer.

Career

Carla Boni was already on stage as a singer in children's operettas at the age of 10 . In 1937 she went to a casting for the state broadcaster Eiar in Turin , where Pippo Barzizza became aware of her and wanted to launch her as a child star modeled on Shirley Temple . But nothing came of it and the young singer went back to Ferrara, where she attended a music high school. Her musical career was interrupted by the Second World War, but after appearing at an event for the US Armed Forces after the liberation in 1946, she began to appear more and more in pubs and became interested in swing .

In 1948 Boni won a singing competition of the Rai (successor to the Eiar) and - again with the help of Pippo Barzizza in Turin - recorded her first records. In 1952 she became part of the Cinico Angelini radio orchestra and was thus able to establish itself on a national level. Alongside Nilla Pizzi , she was one of the prima donnas of Italian popular music at the time. When she first took part in the Sanremo Festival in 1953 , where she presented five songs, she won the competition with Viale d'autunno alongside Flo Sandon’s . As a result, she had further great success with the songs Johnny Guitar (originally by Peggy Lee , title track of the western of the same name from 1954) and Mambo Italiano (originally by Rosemary Clooney ).

Carla Boni also returned to Sanremo in 1954 , 1957 , 1958 and 1961 . In the festival environment , she met Gino Latilla , with whom she initially began an artistic collaboration and whom she married in 1958. Their most successful song together was Casetta in Canadà (Sanremo 1957). In addition, Boni appeared at several editions of the Festival di Napoli and other musical events. In the mid-1970s she separated from Gino Latilla, but the two began an artistic collaboration again in 1987 when they formed the vocal ensemble Quelli di Sanremo with Nilla Pizzi and Giorgio Consolini and recorded an album.

In the 1990s, the singer published her autobiography in two volumes and in 2007 she released a new album, Aeroplani ed angeli . In 2008 she was on the television program I migliori anni della nostra vita by Carlo Conti to see. After a long illness, she died in Rome in autumn 2009.
