Mia Martini (born Domenica Bertè; September 20, 1947 - May 12, 1995) was an Italian singer. Biography Martini was born in 1947 in Bagnara Calabra (province of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy), but soon she moved to Rome with her sister (Loredana Bertè) and her friend Renato Zero. Both of them would eventually become successful singers too. She recorded her first records as Mimì Bertè, but she soon decided to change her name to the more appealing Mia Martini. Her biggest hits were "Piccolo Uomo", which was recorded in several languages, "Almeno tu nell'universo", which has been covered by several Italian singers including Mina and Elisa, and "Minuetto" . She represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest twice: in 1977 with "Libera" (13th out of 18), and in 1992 with "Rapsodia" (4th out of 23). In 1995 Martini was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her apartment at Cardan
