Biography
[edit]Francesca Chiara's parents are teachers (English and Mathematics) and they still live in Padua, where Francesca was born.[citation needed] Her grandparents lived in Venice, and she descends from a Venetian noble family, the Pisani.[citation needed] Her grandmother's name was Adriana Pisani.
Throughout her childhood, Chiara spent many weekends in Venice, where her grandparents lived. Her time in the city served as a source of inspiration for her first album, and continues to influence her current works.[4]. Chiara is married to Tancredi Palamara and gave birth to her first child in 2010.[5][6]
Musical career
[edit]She wrote her first novel at the age of 10 and she wrote her first song at 13 years old.[citation needed] It was called "Survivor".
At 17 years old she spent one year in San Francisco, California graduating at Castro Valley High School and she began to sing seriously and to play guitar.[citation needed]
She returned to Italy and founded the band Mystery, with Simon Dredo and Mauro Lentola, producing a four-song hard rock EP.[citation needed]
At 19 years old she moved from Padova to Milan and started studying music for three years in a music school but then she left it.[citation needed] She worked in a wedding agency, sold wine through the phone and worked in a concert agency to survive and pay the rent.[7]
She met Tank Palamara in a metal club and they started to collaborate. Their first band was called The Flu in 1996 and it was a new punk metal band. They played all over Italy and participated to the Sanremo Music Festival in 1999.[8]
The first album Il Parco Dei Sogni came out in Italian as a concept album with Sony Music Italy that also produced the video of the song “Streghe” (witches).[7] This is a concept album and the story takes place in the future, after a war.[9] Three girls find themselves in the Old Zone of the city and meet an old lady that brings them through a gate and shows them a wonderful park that was there before the war. There they start living the stories of the people that used to go to that park. Love, death, drugs, loneliness, jealousy and they realize that there is always a hope and that wars can't change the deep essence of mankind.[10] It was released in 1999, it includes the songs Streghe and Ti Amo Che Strano that was presented by Francesca Chiara at the famous Festival di Sanremo in 1999.[11]
After various experiences into electronic and alternative music Tank and Francesca created in year 2003 the new gothic rock band The LoveCrave with Bob Machine on drums and Simon Dredo on bass[12] and released with the band 2006 the album The Angel And The Rain.[13]
Influences
[edit]Inspired by films such as The Crow, Blade Runner, Edward Scissorhands, and the Matrix, FC's music has been noted as having both mysterious and aggressive tones that contrast the melody. One of her influences comes from the eighties rock/metal (Iron Maiden, Queensryche, AC/DC, Joan Jett and Sex Pistols) to the nineties gothic wave (HIM, Paradise Lost) .
