Italian Singer Germana Caroli !931-2024) died on 7 January 2024, at the age of 92. She was mainly active in the 1950s.

Germana Caroli was born Germana Mazzetti in Bologna in 1931. Caroli was noted by the composer and conductor Giovanni Fenati while she was performing a song in a night club of her hometown, for a bet. After studying singing, diction and acting, Caroli entered into the Orchestra Fenati as vocalist. With the orchestra, she began singing on the radio and made her first records for Philips, including the hit 'Ehi, tu' (1954, Hey You). It subsequently launched her solo career and she was then put under contract by Durium.

Germana Caroli had the peak of her career between the late 1950s and the early 1960s, when she participated to the most important Italian musical events of the time. In 1959 she took part in the Naples Festival, finishing fifth with the song 'Primmavera'. This was followed by her less successful participation in Canzonissima.
In 1960 she was at the tenth edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with the song 'Gridare di gioia'. She failed to reach the final. Her other hits included 'Un pezzetto di ghiaccio', 'Sei poco intelligente', 'Che noia', and 'Cin cin'. In 1961, her hits 'Alle 10 della sera' and 'Che noia', were included in the Cinebox (Italian Scopitone) circuit with two videos shot by Aldo Aldi. She also filmed commercials for Carosello in which she advertised the Zoppas household appliance brand. After making some records for Kansas, she retired from the stage for a while at the end of 1960s. In the 1980s, she started singing again, in various ballroom dance orchestras. Germana Caroli died in 2024, at the age of 92.
