Giuseppa Marcella Bella (born 18 June 1952), known as just Marcella Bella or simply Marcella, is an Italian pop singer with a career spanning six decades. Her repertoire includes several songs composed by her brother Gianni.

Life and career

Born in Catania into an artistic family (her brothers Antonio and Salvatore are musicians, and her brother Gianni is a singer-songwriter), Bella started her career at very young age, and in 1965 she won the Script error: No such module "Lang"., a victory that was not validated because she was two years younger than the rules required.[1][2] She made her record debut in 1969, with the single "Script error: No such module "Lang".", using the mononym Marcella.[1][2]

Bella got her first success in 1971, with the single "Script error: No such module "Lang".".[1] In 1972, she had her breakthrough taking part in the Sanremo Music Festival with "Script error: No such module "Lang".", a semi-autobiographical song penned by her brother Gianni which turned to be a massive commercial hit.[1][2][3] She later performed in other musical events, being a finalist in the 1973 edition of Script error: No such module "Lang". with "Script error: No such module "Lang".", and winning the Festivalbar with "Script error: No such module "Lang".".[1] Other significant successes of the decade include "Script error: No such module "Lang".", later covered by Boney M. in an English version titled "Take the Heat off Me" and included in their eponymous album, "Script error: No such module "Lang".", which she presented out of competition at the 1977 Sanremo Festival, and her cover version of Domenico Modugno's Script error: No such module "Lang". classic "Script error: No such module "Lang".".[1][2]

After a period of relative tarnish, in the early 1980s Bella began recording under her full name, and achieved an impressive success in 1983 with "Script error: No such module "Lang".", a song penned by Mogol together with her brother Gianni.[1][2] Other hits followed across the whole decade, mainly linked to her participations to the Sanremo Festival, notably "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (third place at Sanremo 1986), "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Sanremo 1987), "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (Sanremo 1988) and "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (a duet with Gianni Bella presented at Sanremo 1990).[1] In the 1990s she slowed her activities.[2] She ran in the 2004 European Parliament election with National Alliance party, being not elected.[3] In 2005, she returned to the Sanremo Festival after a fifteen-year absence with the song "Script error: No such module "Lang".", ranking second in the "classics" tournament.[2][3]

In 2024, Bella, with the song "Chi siamo davvero", competed in the final of Una voce per San Marino 2024, the Sammarinese national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[4] In December 2024, she was announced as one of the participants in the Sanremo Music Festival 2025.[5] She placed last in a field of 29 with the song "Pelle diamante".[6] On 24 December 2024, Bella was awarded by His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Georgia David Bagration of Mukhrani the title of Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the Eagle and the Seamless Tunic of Our Lord Jesus Christ in recognition to her long and successful career, spanning over 50 years.[7]

Personal life

Marcella is the younger sister of singer-songwriter Gianni Bella[1].

In 1973 she had an affair with Red Canzian, who had just joined Pooh as bassist : the romance lasted one year[2].

In 1979 she met Milanese entrepreneur Mario Merello, whom she married in 1989 and by whom she had three children: Giacomo (1980), Carolina (1991) and Tommaso (1992)[3].
