Biography

From early years to ukulele

She was first introduced to music at age 3, when she joined a local children's choir, soon she started taking piano lessons and she also learned how to play acoustic guitar during her youth.

Violetta started performing live in her early teens, singing and playing guitar, often accompanied by her father Giuseppe on harmonica and by Oscar Abelli on drums, basically playing on the road and in local popular festivals and small clubs. In 2012 she met one of the most important ukulele players in Italy, Luca "Jontom" Tomassini, who introduced Violetta to this instrument. They performed together at "YOUkulele Festival" in Rome in summer 2012 and Jontom wanted Violetta as a guest on his EP Likelike Highway, performing vocals on three tracks: the country classic "Jackson" and two more songs written by Jontom himself: "Ghost" and "Wherever I Go".

Midway (fair)

A midway at a fair (commonly an American fair such as a county or state fair) is the location where amusement rides, entertainment and fast-food booths cluster.

The term originated from the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, Illinois, in 1893. It was the first world's fair with an area for amusements which was strictly separated from the exhibition halls. This area, which was concentrated on the city's Midway Plaisance, included amusement rides (among them the original Ferris Wheel), belly dancers, balloon rides, and other attractions.

After the Exposition, the term midway came into use as a common noun in the United States and Canada to refer to the area for amusements at a county or state fair, circus, festival, or amusement park.
