About me
Ella embodies the modern version of the italian divas of the 1950s. Her catchphrase – The Mediterranean Wave of Burlesque – perfectly captures her essence: voluptuous curves, caramel-tone skin, cascading black curls, and the heavy scent of wild jasmine
She trained as an actress and director, and when she discovered burlesque, she was captivated. Ella honed her craft with the top national and international performers, and continues to do so, driven by curiosity and the need to evolve. Her style, like a diamond with thousands facets, has become an explosive mix of glamour and burlesque, with a hint of fetish and a dash of comedy.

Ella stands out not only for her energetic, carnal and typically Mediterranean style, but also for her activism, which has quickly made her one of the most prominent faces of LGBTQIA+ burlesque. She is the founder and runs her own school, The Rouge Academy, dedicated to both art and inclusion. In June 2021, she was honored with “La Karl du Pignè” award by the Circolo di Cultura Omosessuale Mario Mieli recognizing her activism and dedication to making the art of burlesque accessible to everyone, without distinction.
In addition to performing and teaching, Ella is also a model and producer. Her most acclaimed productions include Wet The Show – a spicy, erotic dinner show blending burlesque, cabaret, live music, circus arts, and fire with exquisite aphrodisiac cuisine – and B!tchbox – a comedic evening fueled by playful improvisation between stage and audience. From Milan to the country and all across Europe, Ella has become a high-femme style icon for the LGBTQIA+ community. Her influence was celebrated in 2021 when she was featured as the cover story of Frisson, the magazine dedicated to sexuality, feminism and freedom.
Rumor has it that burlesque is a backup career: her real dream is to be the first showgirl to die in a Dario Argento film.
