Born in Masserano, Gilda started her career as the vocalist in a local band. After failing to qualify in a previous edition of the festival, she debuted at the 25th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival and won the competition with a song composed by herself, "Ragazza del sud", which was heavily criticized for its anti-feminist lyrics.[2][3]
After a few further singles, Gilda got married and started managing a hotel in Turin, abandoning the show business industry except for a few occasional live performances.[2][3]
