Biography

[edit]

Source:[1]

Daniela Ambrosoli, daughter of German dancer Sonja Bragowa and Italian entrepreneur Pierino Ambrosoli, from Lombardy, was born in Ascona, Switzerland. She attended school in Ascona and Locarno, and obtained the Swiss Confederation classical (Latin) matura. Later, she studied and worked in the fields of psychology and medicine in Florence, Zurich and Geneva.

After the premature death of her father, she learned management and took over some of the companies that had been founded by her father, including Camping Delta in Locarno in 1983, together with her husband Franz Marcacci, and the real estate company Amministrazioni Immobiliari Ambrosoli in Locarno. In 1999 she founded the Travel & Culture Management AG in Zurich. In 1990, Daniela Ambrosoli founded the Pierino Ambrosoli Foundation[2] in Zurich, an organization that supports young talents from all over the world in their dance and music training.[3][4][5]

Ambrosoli has served on the executive boards of a number of international associations working in the fields of dance, such as Prix de Lausanne, and music, as well as in humanitarian and social issues, e.g. Soroptimist International Swiss Union.

As a result of her collaboration with the Italian film director Renato Pugina, Ambrosoli started working with films. Since 2004 she has worked with Renato Pugina as assistant director, organizer and translator of documentaries for the Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI / Radio and Television of Italian Switzerland): "La Depressione, il male oscuro" (2004), "Sul corpo e nel cuore" (2007), "In un corpo sbagliato" (2009), "Madri figlicide" (2010), "L'ultimo viaggio" (2013), "I sopravvisuti" (2014), "Il sogno di Hans" (2015), "Via dal Ticino" (2015). Ambrosoli was co-director with Renato Pugina for the documentary "Per Amor di Dio" (2011) RSI.

In 2008/2009, Ambrosoli made a documentary about Hermann Nitsch, the Austrian artist and founding father of Viennese Actionism. In 2011, the film "HN Hermann Nitsch" received the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Beverly Hills Film Festival in Los Angeles.

In 2017, Ambrosoli directed and produced "The Making of a Dream – Life as a Ballet Dancer", a cinematic essay about ballet, dance, young dancers and their lives. This documentary explores the difficult journey from the first steps in amateur dance schools to careers as the main dance performer in one of the world's most famous dance companies.

In 2018, "The Making of a Dream" was shown for six weeks at the Stüssihof Cinema in Zurich and was distributed worldwide by Taskovskifilms London. On November 11, 2018, the documentary "The Making of a Dream" was broadcast on the Ticino television channel RSI.

In 2021 she completed the documentary "papa & dada". The film follows the question: how does starting a family actually "work" as a couple of two men and what does everyday family life look like? "Papa & dada" follows up on these questions, with a look at the world of the famous ballet dancer John Lam and his husband lawyer John Ruggieri.
