Life
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.
