Nude Italian singer Viola Valentino

Virginia Minnetti (born July 1, 1949 in Canzo, Lombardy, Italy), best known by her stage name Viola Valentino, is an Italian singer. Minnetti started her career as a singer in 1968 under the name Virginia and later began to sing with her then husband in a duet named Renzo and Virginia. Some time later Virginia was noticed by Giancarlo Lucariello, a producer of the Italian rock band Pooh. It was he who created an image of a sexy but delicate woman for her as well as her manner to sing with a subdued voice. In 1983, she took part in the Sanremo Festival again with the song Arriva arriva ("Come, Come"). Since then, the public interest in Viola Valentino began to fade. In the 1980s, Viola acted in the films Due strani papà ("Two Strange Daddies", 1983) and Le volpi della notte ("Night Foxes", 1986). For some time, Viola Valentino was married to a well-known Italian singer Riccardo Fogli, which contributed to her popularity; later, however, they divorced. In 1991, an album Un angelo dal cielo ("An Angel from Heaven") came out which included the best songs by Viola Valentino. In 2005 she went to the reality show Musicfarm.
