Giacomo Rondinella sings, 'Malafemmena'.

Giacomo Rondinella (30 August 1923 – 25 February 2015) was an Italian singer and actor. Born in Messina, the son of a couple of Neapolitan actors and singers, Rondinella started his career as a singer after World War II, following failed attempts to pursue a military career and a career as a boxer. He first emerged as the winner of a contest for "New Voices" organized by Radio Napoli, and in a short time he became one of the stars of Canzone Napoletana. A real-life friend of Totò and Eduardo De Filippo, Rondinella also had a prolific career as a stage and film actor, with a peak in the first half of the 1950s. His younger brother Luciano also had a career of actor and singer.

"Malafemmena" is a iconic 1951 Neapolitan song written by actor/composer Antonio De Curtis (Totò), portraying a captivating yet deceitful "bad woman" who causes heartbreak. It is a classic of Italian music, famously recorded by artists like Renato Carosone, Giacomo Rondinella, and Andrea Bocelli. The title translates to "bad woman" in Neapolitan dialect, referring to a woman who is irresistible yet causes pain and suffering.Written by Totò in 1951, allegedly inspired by his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, Diana Bandini Lucchesini Rogliani. The song mixes love and resentment, describing the woman as "worse than a snake" ("peggio ‘e na vipera") while acknowledging her beauty, ultimately noting that God cannot forgive her actions. Besides the original, it has been covered by numerous artists, including a popular version by Renato Carosone and a modern interpretation by Andrea Bocelli. The term is commonly used to describe a femme fatale or a woman who is emotionally distant yet attractive.
