Arianna Manfreda

Ariostea, stage name of Arianna Manfreda, was born in the heart of the province of Lecce, bringing with it that sense of belonging to a borderland, made of light and nostalgia. Since 2021, for university reasons, he has chosen Parma as his new creative center of gravity: a move that is not only geographical, but a sound evolution where Salento roots meet the Emilian mists, transforming classic songwriting into an intimate and profound journey. In his music, the voice is not just an instrument, but a body that inhabits hidden places of consciousness. It is a subtle balance between the refinement of modern sounds and that reference to the great school of Italian songwriting. For Ariostea, writing is an act of radical sincerity, a way to rediscover the beauty that is hidden in the folds of pain and find comfort in the sharing of thought. With the EP "MOSTRO MIRACOLO", Ariostea does not limit himself to collecting songs, but performs a real rite of passage. It is a dual research: sound, in the architecture of the songs and personal, in the labyrinth of identity. Through music, Ariostea breaks down and recomposes herself, using enveloping melodies and lyrics with a strong emotional impact as mirrors to discover herself and her deepest truths. Songs such as "BIMBÀ" and "COLIBRÌ" are fragments of an interiority returned to the public without filters, sound explorations free from schemes where sensitivity becomes courage. Her natural habitat is the stage, a space she has inhabited with an almost instinctive confidence since she was 6 years old. This long tradition transforms the live show not into a simple performance, but into a space of vibrant and authentic relationship. After bringing his music to heterogeneous contexts — from Indiepanchine to festivals such as Apnea, up to openings for artists such as CmqMartina (Parma) and BNKR44 (CorreggioMusicFestival) — Ariostea has consolidated a set capable of adapting to any environment. Her live, composed of voice, guitar and piano, is a living organism that recalls the essentiality of artists such as Emma Nolde, the grace of Elisa and the energy of Levante. 🔴Services offered : author of songs
