Wilma De Angelis, the Italian singer and television presenter associated with “Nessuno,” died October 11, 2026, aged 96.
Born in Milan on April 8, 1930, she began her career in 1956 and took part in the Sanremo Music Festival during the 1950s and 1960s. Her singing career included “Nessuno,” while her professional work also encompassed television presenting and acting.
De Angelis’s career continued through 2011, spanning music and television over more than five decades. In the later part of her career, she became known for cooking programs on Telemontecarlo. She hosted Telemenù from 1978 to 1997, a long-running program that brought cookery to the center of her television work. From 1990 to 1993, she also presented A pranzo con Wilma on the same broadcaster. The two programs established cooking as a prominent part of her later television career, alongside her earlier work as a singer and her appearances at Sanremo. Away from broadcasting, De Angelis authored two cookbooks. Her career thus included festival performances, music, acting and a substantial period presenting food programs for Telemontecarlo, with her activity recorded from 1956 to 2011.
