Life and career
Born in Castagnaro, Verona, in 1950. Lolita won several music festivals, including the Pesaro Music Festival and the Italian Song Festival of Zurich. She first became known in 1969, thanks to her participation to the Festival di Napoli, where she was finalist with two songs, and to the RAI musical show Settevoci, where she launched her hit "Come le rose".[3][4]
In the following years Lolita took part in some of the most important musical events in Italy, including Un disco per l'estate and the 23rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.[3][4]
With her career declining in the second half of the 1980s she moved to Lamezia Terme, where she continued to perform in live events achieving some local success. The night of April 27, 1986 she had to attend a musical event but did not show up; she was found dead the following morning, murdered by stabbing, and with her body disfigured in several parts. The crime remains unsolved.[3][4]
