Mariella Farré (born 7 January 1963 in Thurgau as Gabriella Filomeno) is a Swiss singer of Italian descent, best known for her participation in the Eurovision Song Contests of 1983 and 1985.
Farré's first attempt at Eurovision came in 1981 when, as a newcomer, she entered the Swiss selection heat, only for her song "Una cosa meravigliosa" to finish sixth and last.[1] She was to have more luck in 1983 with "Io così non-ci sto" ("I Don't Like It This Way"), which won the selection and went forward to the 28th Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 23 April in Munich, where it finished in a disappointing 15th place of the 20 entries.[2][3] Undeterred, Farré returned in 1985 with two participating songs; a solo entitled "Oh, mein Pierrot", and "Piano, piano", a duet with Pino Gasparini (himself a Eurovision veteran, having been the lead singer with Switzerland's 1977 entrants the Pepe Lienhard Band). "Piano, Piano" (which despite its title was sung in German) emerged the winner[4] and advanced to the 1985 Eurovision, held in Gothenburg, Sweden on 4 May. Farré this time got a slightly better result, 12th of 19.[5]
Farré subsequently moved into dance and choreography, which she has made into a successful career. She currently owns and runs two dance training schools in the Aargau canton of northern Switzerland.
