"Non sono una signora" (i.e. "I am not a lady") is an Italian pop-rock song written by Ivano Fossati and performed by Loredana Bertè. Considered Bertè's signature song, it has influenced her provocative imagine and aggressive style in the following years of career.[1] It has been described as a "career catch" song for Berté.[2]
Bertè's sister, Mia Martini, asked to her then-partner singer-songwriter Ivano Fossati to compose a song for her sister Loredana and wrote for her the song 'Non sono una signora'.[3][4] The song won the 1982 edition of Festivalbar.[5] It was adapted in Spanish language as "Ella es una señora" (in a version performed by Lucía Méndez) and as "No soy una señora" (in a version performed by Melissa Griffiths, and later by María José).
