Raffaella Carra was an icon to be free, happy and noisy, to “make love with whoever you want”. Raffaella who sings, dances and shines, who fights, laughs and is moved, who risks , who makes a mistake, who always chooses. An artist who, firmly believing in herself, gave confidence and freed all of us.
“She said, ‘I’m a gay icon in spite of myself,’ because she couldn’t understand how this understanding between her and the queer community had developed.
