A crucial figure in Italian post-war art, Marinella Pirelli left behind a unique body of work, including painting, drawing, moving image, light environments and experimental cinema. With a career spanning more than fifty years, Pirelli's artistic efforts and unquestionable talent are still surprisingly under-recognised. Her approach–both incredibly personal, and avant-garde–has meant that Pirelli has avoided many definable schools and currents, although remaining in contact with the best of contemporary creativity of her time. Marinella was at this time particularly close to the artists Carla Accardi, Jannis Kounellis, Luciano Fabro, Bruno Munari and the important feminist theorist, Carla Lonzi. She was one of the few Italian woman artists working in experimental film and her works traverse numerous thematics connected to the body, the gaze and the relationship with the cinema apparatus/projection event.

Marinella (Greek: Μαρινέλλα) (born May 20, 1938) is a popular Greek singer whose career has spanned several decades. Even though Marinella is often considered a singer of folk songs, her range is quite broad and has included a variety of musical styles including traditional, laika, pop, blues, and jazz. Marinella is characterised as "The Great Lady of Song" in Greece, where she is regarded with great respect. She rarely makes public appearances, and her concerts are few.

She was born Kyriaki Papadopoulou, in the city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece. She released her first song in 1957, "Nitsa Elenitsa" ("Little Helen"). Her early career was marked by her collaboration with singer Stelios Kazantzidis.

Marinella was the first Greek singer to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1974, placing eleventh with the song "Krasi, Thalassa Kai T' Agori Mou" ("A little wine, a little sea and my man"). She also performed in sev
