Born in
Catania, Trovato started her career as backing vocalist, then, put under contract by singer-discographer
Caterina Caselli, she took part at the
Sanremo Music Festival 1993 with the song "Non ho più la mia città", ranking second behind
La Solitudine of
Laura Pausini in the newcomers section. The song achieved critical and commercial success and launched her career. In the Summer she was the opening act in
Zucchero Fornaciari's concerts. In May, she toured with the tenor-singer
Andrea Bocelli; the couple also made a duet, "
Vivere", written by the same Trovato and included in the Bocelli's album
Romanza. In 1996, Trovato published her third album,
Ho trovato Gerardina, that led by the singles "Amori amori" and "Piccoli già grandi" obtained a good commercial success. In February 2016, she revealed in an interview that she had abandoned the scene due to a serious
obsessive depressive neurosis and the difficulty of working in the music industry, and some liver problems. In May 27, 2017, with a message on her personal Facebook profile, the singer announced her retirement from the scene again, although she later performed in public in some concerts. On January 5, 2020, she gave an interview to newspaper Il Messaggero in which she described the very difficult financial and personal situation she found herself in. On August 16, 2024, Corriere della Sera relaunched a touching video published on TikTok in which the singer made a heartfelt appeal: "I have always thought that what matters is the people and we would be nothing if it weren't for you. Don't abandon me, become more and more because you are my strength", words that come as a thanksgiving to a video published the day before, which immediately went viral, where it portrays the artist back to performing around the squares of Italy. == Discography ==
