THE 50 years of career she celebrated them with her latest album, “50 Years of Bella Musica”, released in 2019. Since then, no more appearances for her. We know she ended up living on a Balearic island, far from his Italy and the frenzy of a VIP life. “A small place”, Marcella had explained to Mara Venier, “where everyone knows and loves me now, but not everyone knows that I am a singer. I have more freedom because they don’t recognize me. She is a place similar to Sicily. There are all those succulent plants there too, the prickly pears.”
Before this, however, Marcella’s life had also been very intense from an emotional point of view. Observant fans will remember the flirtation with Pooh bassist, Red Canzian, but both were very young and it didn’t last long. Then many stories, as is normal in the world of entertainment.

Mario Merello, a Milanese entrepreneur born in 1946, entered Marcella Bella’s life almost by chance. The two they met in Madonna di Campiglio, when he was already married and the father of a child. She became pregnant, then, and Merello decided to change his life and get engaged to the Sicilian singer. After 10 years, in 1989, the decision to get married. And so from their love they were born three children: Giacomo, Carolina and Tommaso.
Mario Merello, although very secretive about his life, gave Marcella an extra-large gift for his 40th birthday. A luxury yacht, regardless of expense (or the envy of others), with the sole aim of making his wife happy. “She totally WAS and IS stranger to our world”Marcella Bella explained when speaking about him, “and he has always worked 12 hours a day. He is one discreet person, a little shady, fascinating because it doesn’t expose itself too much. With him I understood that you only get rich by working hard. However, he also managed to find time for me, which I was and am his great love”.
