Sanremo 2025 - Marcella Bella: they are the same girl of green mountains

Marcella Bella on the Ariston stage brought her new song Diamond skin.

Twenty years after “Bastardo”, the singer returns for the ninth time on the stage of Sanremo Festival.

Diamond leather is a song that focuses attention on women. A strong and independent woman does not need a man next to it. Remember that I am a sincere person who always say what I think.

Q&A

How are you?

I am destroyed, tired dead, menomal that there is the final. It was not for me a simple journey, despite having put everything I had available, my energy, my brazenness. I am very happy to have dedicated. Now that they become of age, I can start again. I realized that there are a lot of young people and it is hard, very hard, but I am selling the skin dearly.

In 1972 Green mountains. How do you remember that festival?

Meanwhile, I was an unknown girl and from one day to the next there was a dream of mine. It was a double success of my and Gianni. Our musical lives have always gone parallel.

What experience has forged you with diamond skin?

The courage to return to Sanremo to these daily daily and the courage to keep silent. I did the armor with all my life experiences. We would have to write a book. Today it is harder because it is a bit like not singing, also because of “someone” who braked me because I had songs ready 5 years ago, while Carlo welcomed me this year.

Are you also the author, did you write the etnea album?

I am amazed myself. I saw how Gianni worked, I also felt in difficulty at the beginning having a brother who is a great author. I also found myself debased when Gianni could no longer write, so I ventured. I collaborated with Rosario (my pianist brother) I looked out the songwriting with great humility but I had Gianni's approval.

What is the festival that remained in your heart?

They are two. The first and the other was 1986 with a song written by Gianni and Mogol. I had my satisfaction coming third. It is not easy to get on the podium, this year less than. I did not come to the festival with vitality ambition. For me it is as if I were reinventing myself, without pushing too much with the elbows, I am happy because the song is liked. I actually develop in the last place, like some other great, see Vasco who came last and then exploded. In the soul are still the girl of green mountains who takes her energy from the public.

Did Bertè wrote you?

The Bertè sent me a message saying “I recommend this evening breaks”.

Will we listen to a beautiful Marcella different in the next album?

I would like to approach young people. My audience grew so much, the youngest felt some old song of mine in the air. I like children a lot, I think why I'm a pure soul like them. I don't try to be sophisticated and built. I brought to the stage Diamond skin, Such a contemporary song because I would like to win a new audience.

What would you change the festival?

They should prohibit the author. I am the only one who has not used the Autunnes and Ear Festival. Fin Giorgia has used Autoton. Call me old, I want to hear the audience, the violins. I am the only one who sings “to the old”.
