Life and career edit

Born in Termoli, Campobasso, Italy, after some experiences as a chorist in 1972 Giuliani won "Due voci per Sanremo", a contest organized by TV Sorrisi e Canzoni which got her the chance to compete at the 23rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.[1][2] Her song "Serena" was a hit and launched her career, with her vocal style being compared to Mireille Mathieu's and receiving large critical acclaim.[1][2]

In December the same year, she also competed at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, winning both the Grand Prix and the Most Outstanding Performance Award with the song "Parigi a Volte Cosa Fa".[1][2] From the mid-1970s she slowed her activities, focusing her career on international appearances.[1][2]

After a period of silence, in the 1990s Giuliani was a regular in the RAI musical programs hosted by Paolo Limiti.[2]
