«Raffaella Carrà she was a woman who inspired several generations with joy, courage and commitment. His music has gladdened our hearts and his free spirit has filled our souls ». It is the homage of the Spanish president Pedro Sanchez to the queen of Italian TV and music Raffaella Carrà, who died today at the age of 78. Raffaella Carrà was also much loved by the Spanish public, and in October 2018 she was awarded a highly prestigious honor, Dama al Orden del Merit Civil, attributed to her by King Felipe VI. Previously Carrà had received from Felipe González “il Lazo”, an honor dedicated to women, for having favored, thanks to his television programs, the knowledge of Spain and Italy outside the stereotypes.
