Dalida (born Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti) was an international superstar whose career as a singer and actress spanned over three decades. Born in Cairo in 1933 to Italian parents, she became a global icon after moving to Paris in 1954, eventually recording songs in more than ten languages and selling over 170 million records. Despite her immense professional success, her personal life was marked by a series of deep tragedies that often reflected in her melancholic and powerful musical performances.
