In 2001, Milva released the German studio album "Artisti", in which she performed songs in German, Italian, Spanish and Latin. The album was released and distributed by BMG Ariola. In the album, she covered Julio Iglesias' "Abrázame", a Spanish language pop standard rewritten with German lyrics, titled "Komm halt mich Fest", as well as an Italian-language cover of John Denver's "Perhaps Love". She also performed "Da troppo tempo", a song which she had previously recorded in Italian and competed with at the Sanremo Music Festival of 1973, finishing in 3rd place, this time in German. In Spanish, she sang "Yo soy María", a song from Ástor Piazzolla's tango opera "María de Buenos Aires". In Latin and Italian, she performed the classical aria "Ave Maria", arranged and given to her by Ástor Piazzolla before his death.
