Lollipop (Italian band)

Lollipop is an Italian girl group formed in 2001 on the international television sensation Popstars (originated in New Zealand), a precursor to the Idols shows.

The members were Dominique Fidanza (Domy), Marcella Ovani (Marcellina), Marta Falcone, Roberta Ruiu and Veronica Rubino.

In March 2002 the group took part in the Sanremo Music Festival with their first song in Italian, "Batte Forte", after which they were highly criticized by the press, above all because of their poor live performance.

The album, released without any promotion by WEA, didn't gain much success and the group broke up after being dropped by their record label.

Recently, she released her first single in French, "La Place Du Passager", along with an Italian version called "Spaghetti e Desideri".

In November 2009 rumors started to circulate about the group reforming for the release of a new single in order to say thank you to all the people who supported them throughout the years.

On 4 February 2010 Lollipop performed together at the TV show Matricole & Meteore on Italia 1 with Nicola Savino and Juliana Moreira.

On 9 June 2013 the band premiered their comeback single "Ciao (Reload)" during a performance at Just Cavalli, a popular club in Milan.

On 29 June 2017, Lollipop competed in Canale 5 TV program The Winner Is ... as a trio formed by Marcella Ovani, Veronica Rubino and Marta Falcone, without Fidanza and Ruiu.

On 17 January 2018, the group appeared on Italia 1 TV program 90 Special: Lollipop during the show performed their biggest hit, "Down Down Down", and officially confirmed the release of a new single.
