Mariangela Gualtieri

Mariangela Gualtieri was born in Cesena, in the Romagna region of Italy. She holds a degree in Architecture from the IUAV University of Venice. In 1983, together with director Cesare Ronconi, she co-founded Teatro Valdoca, serving as the company’s playwright and core voice. Since the beginning of her artistic path, she has devoted extraordinary care to the oral delivery of poetry, rooted in a deep understanding of vocal acoustics and the organic union between verse and live sound/music.
