Marcella Pobbe

Italian operatic soprano (Vicenza, July 13, 1921 - Milan, June 17, 2003), made her debut in 1949 in Spoleto in Faust by Charles Gounod and then to the San Carlo di Napoli (theater where she performed regularly until 1973), the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome and at La Scala in Milan. In 1962 she was involved in a story that made headlines on the tabloids of the time performing in the opera Isabeau by Pietro Mascagni wearing only flesh-colored tights perfectly in order which highlighted her beauty.
