Digartdotnet Marcello Mazzella

Biographical notes
Marcello Mazzella is a multi-talented multimedia artist and a indefatigable experimenter in how new techno-
logies reconfigure imagery and in new ways of thinking and making art. To his credit he has made his way in
quite diverse fields having to do with a vision of where contemporary art lives, in its globalized and virtual
spaces; and with the exploration of contemporary art’s survival and reconfigurations of archetypes that
continue to live in it. Neapolitan by birth, in 1965, he was born to a family of artisans and artists. Naples is
an enigmatic city and one that is extraordinarily vital; it is a laboratory of the archaic and at the same time of
the sublime out of control contemporary. Mariano, Mazzella’s paternal grandfather, was a picture restorer, his
father Rosario, a painter and art teacher. Mazzella’s uncles were all artists too. The Mazzella family home was
a meeting place for Italian and international artists and intellectuals of the second half of the 20th century,
such as Palma Bucarelli and Giulio Carlo Argan. The young Mazzella received his diplomas of Maestro di Arte
and Maturità di arte applicata (Applied Arts) from the Istituto statale d’arte in Torre del Greco near Naples...
