It is called Frida, a name that for art lovers evokes both beauty and suffering, because it is associated with the work and life of Frida Khalo.
His surname is Bollani Magoni, a quality 'trademark' associated with the sophisticated music that made the duo formed by his parents, Stefano Bollani and Petra Magoni, famous.
Fidra was born in Pisa, almost 17 years ago, and has been visually impaired since birth, but her illness has not become a limitation; on the contrary, it has helped her to develop her love and talent for music.
The general public got to know her during the programme 'Via dei Matti n. 0', with which her father, as an extraordinary performer, drew the RAI3 prime-time audience into the world of cultured music.
A few minutes, a piano and a poignant grace in singing Leonard Cohen's 'Allelujah' won everyone over.

Delicacy, a persuasive voice and a great musical sensitivity that, as she herself declares, her visual impairment has made her even more ductile and receptive.
"Shut up everyone," says Frida, "It was the verse of a lullaby that Dad used to hum to me to put me to sleep... I could see myself in it. And so hush everybody, now I sing.
It happened when he was about one year old and it was the beginning of a journey in music.
From an early age, she fell in love with the piano and started playing it under the guidance of Maestro Paolo Razzuoli, who taught her how to read musical notes in Braille.
At a very young age, she began performing as a pianist and singer, guesting in orchestras, musicals and her parents' concerts.

After the performance on RAI3 Frida became a real web star, with 10000 followers on Instagram and 1000 on YouTube.
The first to be surprised is herself: "I thought there would be a response, but not so much. It was an explosion, even on social media: I was surprised by the affection I received."
