Life and career
Born in Castelleone, Cremona, the daughter of an employee of the Ferrovie dello Stato, Identici started singing as a child, participating in a number of Festivals and talent shows.[1] In 1964 she was entered into the competition at the Castrocaro Music Festival in which she reached the finals;[1][2] the same year she made her television debut, as the assistant of Mike Bongiorno in the RAI variety show La fiera dei sogni.[1][2]
Identici entered the Sanremo Music Festival six times between 1966 and 1973.[1][2] In 1969, shortly before entering into the competition with the song "Il Treno", Identici attempted suicide and she was eventually replaced by Rosanna Fratello.[1][2]
Identici's career turned in the 1970s, when she embraced a folk repertoire, with songs often characterized by political and social themes.[1][2][3]
Swedish pop singer and ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog in her album När en vacker tanke blir en sång (1972) sang Anna Identici's hit Era bello il mio ragazzo (translated "Dröm är dröm, och saga saga").
