Biography

Born in Monopoli, Province of Bari, Apulia, Raimondi studied operatic singing and foreign languages.[2] In 1956, Raimondi was among the winners of a RAI contest of new voices and got the chance to perform at the 1956 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, which she eventually won with the song "Aprite le finestre".[2] That same year she represented Italy in the first Eurovision Song Contest with the same song,[2] alongside Tonina Torrielli with "Amami se vuoi".

Between 1956 and 1958 Raimondi was leading vocalist in the Gian Stellari Orchestra.[2] In 1960 she entered the competition at the Festival di Napoli with "Canzone all'antica" ("Old-style song").[2] In the later years she slowed her activities, focusing her career on live performances.[2]
