• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Anna Maria Mazzini - Mina - is one of the best-loved popular music stars in Italy and abroad, with a large fan base across Europe, Asia, and South America. An Italian popular music icon whose sixty-year career began in the late 1950s and reached its peak in the 1960s and 1970s. Mina's rise and continued success is a model of how stardom is constructed and what it reveals about the society from which it springs.

While Mina retired from public appearances in the late 1970s, she remains popular and successful today. She continues to release new material and her albums consistently debut at number one in the Italian charts.

This book examines Mina's iconic image and explores the significance of her star status in post-war Italy, tracing the process by which she has come to embody the values and ideals of contemporary Italian society.
