Italy’s Singing Nun Picks “Like A Virgin”
Well, it’s appropriate at least. Italy’s singing nun, Sister Cristina Scuccia, who won “The Voice of Italy†in June, has released a cover of Madonna’s “Like a Virgin†as her first single, ahead of a forthcoming album. The 26-year-old Sicilian sister’s rather restrained cover of “Virgin,†softly sung against picturesque religion-themed Italian backdrops, while wearing her nun’s habit, crucifix around her neck, and plain black shoes, is bound to provoke some polemics, especially in Italy. And is clearly calculated to generate boffo sales.
