Raffaella Carrà, one of Italian television's most beloved entertainers, and known as the Queen of Italian TV, has died at the age of 78. Here she is in an interview with Fabio Fazio on Rai 3. Her blonde hair was her signature, as you will see when you watch the video. She was a legend. She sang, she danced, she hosted, and she interviewed. For many years, Italian families would watch her talk show Pronto Raffaella (Hello, Raffaella) at the noon hour, when school got out.

Fabio Fazio gives Raffaella Carrà a great sendoff, replete with majorettes and a legendary marching band from a Milan district.
