La Lionetta

**La Lionetta** (born Loredana Corbucci) is a beloved Italian folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist deeply rooted in Sardinia’s musical traditions. Emerging in the late 1970s, she became a key figure in Italy’s folk revival, blending Sardinian folk melodies, poetic storytelling, and subtle contemporary influences.
