Hi again!! I became so happy when Patri asked us to write a biography about someone we admired, because I had thought of doing it for my Italian lessons before, but it wasn't possible until that moment, so I immediately thought it was a fantastic chance to let you know about a person I admire so much. He's an Italian showman, but mainly a great person. I hope you to enjoy your reading, and please ask me for any information you want to know about him.

Love,

fiore (of course I took my nick from him ;))

Rosario Fiorello is probably the best Italian showman. He was born in Catania in 1960. Just after finishing High School, he started to work as an entertainer at some tourist resorts, where he became one of the most appreciated tour operators. His TV career began at Deejay Television in 1989. In 1991, Rosario brought out his first album called ‘Veramente Falso’ (150.000 CD copies). At the same time, he hosted the radio programme ‘W Radio Deejay’. Fortunately, it was such a great success that it allowed him to produce two audio cassettes with his most amusing interventions (70.000 copies). After that, Fiorello brought out a new album called ‘Nuovamente Falso’. In 1992, he started to host the ‘Karaoke’ on Italia1 TV regularly, with which he expected to advance his TV career. Luckily, his great audience response led him to win the ‘Telegatto’ award for this TV programme. Later, in 1995, Rosario took part in the San Remo’s Festival with the song ‘Finalmente tu’.But one of the most important events in his professional life took place in 2001, when he decided to host a TV programme called ‘Stasera Pago io’, where he started to make the most of his several talents: he was a presenter, a humorist and a singer at the same time. In 2004, Rosario took up this TV programme again, took part in the dubbing of the cartoons film ‘Garfield’ and brought out a new album called ‘A modo mio’. After that, he decided to focus his career on the radio programme ‘Viva Radio 2’ and his show ‘Volevo fare il ballerino’. In my opinion, Rosario Fiorello is not only a great showman, but also a very special person. Since I ‘discovered’ him in 2002, he has been such a wonderful guide, enabling me to immerse myself in the Italian langage and culture. I consider him a genius both professionally and personally, and I am sure we will continue enjoying his intelligent humour, exceptional musicality and great charisma for years to come.
