is the founder and designer of BaroccOro Jewels which, before becoming a successful brand, is a beautiful story of courage and commitment. Marinella Stornello was born into a family of photographers for three generations and, continuing the family business, she became a photographer herself.
From Sicilian origins, Marinella grew up in Vigevano, where her father had successfully started a business of photographer for weddings and events. But Marinella also has another passion: that of jewelry. It is in Vigevano that he learns the various pictorial and ceramic manufacturing techniques. At the age of 17 he leaves Vigevano to return to his homeland, Sicily. Here, after 25 years of activity, she decides to abandon photography and devote herself to her great passion. In 2011, with her husband and daughter, she opened the small jewelry store in Ragusa Ibla, which still exists today. Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit that characterizes her family, she begins to personally produce the jewels for the shop, immediately finding good success. This is how the new collections are born, original ideas drawn from elements of the Sicilian tradition, such as prickly pears and pomegranates. Her inspiration comes from the tradition and the millennial history of the island, which have always fascinated her since she was a child, when she returned to Sicily for the holidays in the summer. She was increasingly fascinated by the colors of the island, from the sea to the dry stone walls, the olive trees, the lava of Etna. Love that initially expressed by painting landscape paintings. Despite the period of economic crisis, Marinella Stornello dedicates herself completely to her work and to her innovative creations, believing strongly in her passion. So the brand begins to assert itself and grow.
