This essay gives an overview of the Italian singer's biography in its earliest formulation, starting with the advent of sound, and continuing, uninterrupted, until the 1950s. The author recognises a crucial moment in these years. She analyses it through three films dedicated to opera singers made in Italy in the 1940s and 1950s: Maria Malibran (Guido Brignone, 1943), Enrico Caruso leggenda di una voce (Giacomo Gentilomo, 1951) and La donna più bella del mondo (Robert Z. Leonard, 1955).
