Fiorello

Born Rosario Tindaro Fiorello on 16 May 1960 in Catania, Sicily, Fiorello is a famous Italian comedian, singer, radio, television presenter and impressionist, best known for his imitations of Mike Bongiorno and Silvio Berlusconi. Raised in Augusta, Sicily, Fiorello cut his teeth as an entertainer in local tourist bars before a fortuitous meeting with celebrity Bernardo Cherubini in Valtur Villages brought him to Milan. He landed a presenting gig on the Viva Radio Deejay show with Marco Baldini, before a period of drug problems forced him to take a break from the spotlight. He re-emerged in the '90s with a renewed sense of purpose, scoring a number of TV roles that he continued to expand on in the early aughts while also embarking on a music career. His first single, "La canzone del sole" came in 1991, followed by debut album Veramente falso. Fiorello spent the next two decades adding to his portfolio of recordings, with album A modo mio appearing in 2004, while a duet with Daniele Lazzarin, Fatti mandare dalla mamma, lit up 2017.
