Fiamma lives in Florence with her parents and 14-year-old sister Emilia who is also a singer. Her favourite subjects at school include Italian, History, Music, English, German and Science. She has been playing the piano since she was four and started singing at the same age. First she performed as a “voce Bianca” in the Opera Festival of Florence. Now she is part of the children’s polyphonic choir, il Piccolo Coro Melograno di Firenze. Fiamma also sang as solo at the 56° Zecchino d’oro (Ninnaneve).

Fiamma also enjoys dancing (ballet, disco dance, modern Jazz) and acting. She would like to broaden her experience in musicals, after having taken part in the “Musical Weekend” school for one year.

Fiamma has two cats called Mimì and Musetta. In her spare time she likes reading. Her favourite books at the moment are: Novecento by Alessandro Baricco, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare and is also a great fan of Harry Potter. Fiamma also enjoys listening to music and being with her friends and is looking forward to flying the flag for Italy in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Malta this year!
