About Angelo Bonello
Angelo Bonello was born in Turin. He has been interested in painting and sculpture since childhood under the guidance of the Impressionist artist Sergio Manfredi. Later he met the artist Antonio Carena, from whom he learnt the abstract and conceptual arts before landing on the shores of Techno-Art with the artist Piero Gilardi. At the same time Angelo spent his early years on a long journey of discovery of nature, culture and art. While studying, he explores forests, climbs mountains, and discovers and lives the big cities, like Barcelona, London, Beijing, Bogotà, Rio de Janeiro and many others.
At the same time, Angelo is interested in figurative and abstract arts, mountaineering and the new circus, performance and multimedia arts. He conceives the urban space as a large stage hosting environmental performances and light installations that blended in perfectly with the landscape, augmenting the land art to a dreamlike level. He develops a visual sensibility and a signature style based on the dimensional twisting of the scenic space and the landscape. A stage that, besides the horizontal level, considers also the aerial projection.
In 1997, Angelo settled in Rome, where he met Alberta Nunziante and they founded the Kitonb Project together. He keeps exploring the most uninhabited corners around the world, yet Rome is where he imagines and creates more than 150 projects, which reappeared in 40 countries all around.
Since 2014 he is also very active in TV as artistic director, such as Italia’s Got Talent and The Voice, both very famous international TV shows.
