I'M FIORELLA

After more than twenty years in the industry and over 40,000 appearances as the public face of Canale 5, I decided in 2003 to step away from the world of television. It was a profound decision, driven by a desire to rediscover myself and return to my first love: painting.

To give this transformation true meaning, I decided to put myself to the test without taking any shortcuts, giving up the perks of fame and fully embracing the rules of a fresh start.

So I moved to France, where I could work in complete anonymity, devoting myself with freedom and serenity to my artistic exploration.

In the heart of the charming alleys of Old Nice, at 31 Rue Droite—the historic artists’ street—I opened my studio in February 2007. For over seventeen years, this place was my creative refuge: a space where I gave shape to my works, sharing them with international visitors. Over the years, my works have found their way into private collections around the world.

In 2022, I returned to Italy with the desire to recreate a beautiful and creative space here as well, in continuity with the studio I had in Nice. The search was long and challenging, but today I believe I have found in Imbersago, in the province of Lecco, the ideal place for a new artistic beginning. In the meantime, my collaborations with several French galleries continue, as they continue to exhibit my works.

Painting

During these years in France, I made a lot of progress in the field of art: I obtained my own official quotation assigned to me by Drouot, I acquired an international clientele and I successfully participated in many personal and collective exhibitions in France, England, Monaco, Japan and Italy, receiving flattering reviews everywhere.

In Italy, in May 2008, in the medieval halls of the Castello del Tau in Altopascio (Lu), I presented my first solo exhibition in Italy, "Percorsi di luce" (Paths of light), made with canvases inspired by reading the stories of medieval travellers who crossed Europe on foot along the Romee roads and those of the Via Francigena, the historic route that connected Canterbury to Rome and then on to Jerusalem. Hence the idea of making "Percorsi di luce" a travelling exhibition along the places touched by the Via Francigena and the Romee roads, receiving the patronage of the European Association of the Vie Francigene, the reference body for the Via.

In December 2008, one of my paintings was acquired by the Dino Zoli Museum in Forlì. Since May 2009, my installation "Bi-sogni d'artista" (artist's dreams), made up of nine works including paintings and sculptures, has been on permanent display in Lucca's museum of contemporary art, the Lu.C.C.A. (Lucca Center of Contemporary Art).

In July of the same year, I was invited by the Region of Tuscany to exhibit at the seat of the Regional Council, in the historical halls of Palazzo Panciatichi in Florence. At the end of the exhibition period, one of my works was acquired by the Pinacoteca del Consiglio Regionale della Toscana.

In 2011, I was invited to exhibit at the 54th Venice Biennale, at the Italian Pavilion, Turin.

Since 2012, the work "Andar per l'acque" has been acquired by the Pinacoteca di Casalpusterlengo (Lo). Since 2013 the work "Di-vino santo" is present in the collection of works of the Pinacoteca di Follonica.
