The story of my great passion

 My name is Fiammetta, I was born in Genoa on June 2, 1968, and I was the Founder and owner of the first Goccia Di Luna Center Massage Wellness Center, in Rapallo, formerly located at 28 Via della Libertà, and later located at the Wellness Corner of the Best Western Tigullio Royal Hotel, just 50 meters away, on the waterfront. 


Let me tell you my story!

    Ever since I was a teenager, I have been so fascinated by the anatomy of the human body; at the Liceo Artistico N. Barabino high school and the University of Fine Arts in Genoa, my favorite subject was actually Anatomy!  Studying the human body meticulously, particularly the musculature, in order to learn how to draw it in a perfectly truthful way, I liked to "verify" the actual conformation of the muscles and various anatomical parts, and so I often enjoyed giving massages to anyone who came under my hands, going to "look for" by touching the muscle bundles and contractures ...

    Professors, relatives, friends ... even at school, during class hours! My massages, though still "amateur" at that time, were really liked, but most of all:


    They made people feel good!!! And I liked this very much.


    Throughout childhood until the age of 14, my sport had been artistic gymnastics, concluding the last two years with competitive training, training that caused me a variety of injuries, so I found myself at 16 with continuous back pain and various problems , for which I had to begin assiduous attendance at various physiotherapy centers for the treatment of the pathologies that had arisen.


    At the same time, however, I continued to refine my knowledge of the subject of Anatomy by continuing my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts.  It was my love for Anatomy combined with the problems of my spine that made me realize that I wanted to learn more...also because I realized that physical therapists were not solving my problems... It was for this very reason that I became more and more passionate about massage and the treatments that were supposed to help improve the state of my back...


    After years of sessions and lost afternoons, I had finally realized what the problem was: I needed treatments aimed at loosening contractures, realizing on my own (the doctors "hadn't thought of it"!!!) that working only on the bone structure could not be enough... and thinking back to how the people I treated with my massages were immediately better. In my twenties, I was saying to myself, "Next time I'm born again I'll be a masseuse...!  But ... why next time I'm born again???" 


    "No! I am young... It is now that I am living, and it is now that I want to devote myself to this!" Of course I would have liked to study perhaps medicine, or even better, massage physiotherapy, which, however, was not available in Genoa in those years, moreover, my parents did not want me to study in other cities; I would have liked to pursue a degree...but since I could not, I inquired about similar studies, parallel to these, equally important, with issuance of recognized qualifications, not mere attendance certificates, qualifying and complete schooling paths, because the thing that has always made me feel fulfilled and satisfied is to make people feel good !"

My studies and specializations

This is where I started, or rather, continued! I expanded my studies, attending Massage Training Schools, comprehensive and in-depth courses of first, second and third levels, certainly not settling for those one-day or one-weekend "courses," but looking for a serious structure with trained teachers and attending continuously, from October to June with both theoretical and practical examinations, studying and deepening my knowledge more and more with Specializations of second, third and advanced levels, achieving two certificates of qualification and 14 specializations.

    I started by working in private practice for a few years. Then I decided to experience "working as an employee" by accepting a very important job offer that turned out to be decisive for my working future.


    At the Hotel Excelsior Palace, in San Michele di Pagana (Rapallo) 5-star luxury, a hotel for elite clientele, Arab princes, actors and actresses, soccer players, famous television personalities (I was the personal masseuse of some very well-known presenters, such as Paolo Bonolis, Giorgio Mastrota, Carlo Conti and others) and from there I began to approach, conceptually, also the world of aesthetics, which I have always seen not as a simple improvement of beauty, but as a real means to amplify and maintain the well-being of the person: through aesthetic care you can maintain a state of optimal health for both body and mind.


    As in: you feel better because you take care of yourself! Your beauty comes from being well!


    My experience at Excelsior Palace made me realize that I wanted to put into practice a personal challenge of my own: to open a wellness center myself, initially specializing exclusively in massage, to be run and to grow with my mindset, with my attention to detail, with my desire to dedicate myself to others to make them feel cared for, pampered, spoiled...! 


    Goccia Di Luna Center Massage was established in June 2007, and was the first and only wellness center (not aesthetic, there is a difference!) specializing specifically in massage, on the entire Riviera del Levante Ligure.

An elegant and exclusive environment

That was exactly what I wanted to create. An elegant and exclusive environment, different from all the other centers around. 

๏ปฟ

It had to have "its" style, its "character," open on the third floor and not at street level, to be able to create large rooms with spacious compartments, a prestigious and stately Institute, special, unique in all of Rapallo.

Why Goccia di Luna?

The name comes from two fundamental elements of my life: when I was 14 years old, I was just "Drop of Moon," my nickname or nickname, which I used when, with my group of amateur radio friends, we used to talk at the "CQ," the so-called "shack," with which we connected with all the countries of the world: America, Japan, Australia. Also, when I decided to open my Center, I thought: what comes to mind when I think of something relaxing and peaceful?

    That's it: a nice walk in the evening, on the beach, in the moonlight, with the silvery reflection of its light on the sea... that's it: I for my clientele have always imagined to be... a small drop of moon... a simple moment of peace, of tranquility... feeling fulfilled and cradled in a warm and cozy place, with soft lights, a place where upon entering you can escape by taking refuge in this small oasis of perfect relaxation... all for you...!


    Since the first year, despite the fact that it was born as a Wellness Center dedicated to massage, the clientele made assiduous and continuous requests to me about beauty treatments. So I decided to take the request into consideration, thinking that aesthetics, in my center, would not be the "end," but one of the "means" to get to well-being: devoting oneself to taking care of one's appearance, the health of one's skin, or devoting an hour for oneself by getting a nice manicure or taking care of moisturizing one's face or removing annoying calluses from the soles of one's feet, nail care... all this is taking care of oneself, so it is being well, taking care of one's well-being.

Collaborations

Since the year 2010, especially in the summer, I was often sent clients from some hotels in Rapallo directly to the center in order to accommodate the demand for various treatments. In particular the Hotel Europa, the Astoria and the Tigullio Royal. The owner of the latter, listening to my advice, decided to open a "wellness corner" within the hotel, to create an even more "comfortable and present" service for his clientele.

    In the summer of 2013 I was being called daily, going directly to the hotel, and since the collaboration was appreciated and satisfying, in January 2014 I made the decision to move the center's headquarters, from Via della Libertà, where it was born and where it was before, to the Tigullio Royal hotel's wellness room, in order to offer a more immediate and organized service.


    Elegance and 4-star wellness, with well-kept and harmonious environments that respected the hotel's prestige and extremely polished style. But I was not only present in Rapallo! Not to forget that over time, I always and simultaneously maintained a wellness corner in Genoa as well, the studio in my home by means of which all my clientele in Genoa could continue to follow me without having to move all the way to Rapallo.


    As of May 1, 2017, having ended my working relationship with the Hotel Tigullio Royal, I continued my activity devoting myself completely to my studio in Genoa. In the following summers my presence and use of my work experience was required in Casarza Ligure and Chiavari, and in the summer of 2020 instead in Zoagli, a decisive and extremely positive experience, which made me realize that I wanted to return to Rapallo, being able in this way to take back my old loyal clientele acquired in the previous years, and still continuing to be at the disposal of my beloved Clientele acquired in Zoagli and still always faithful! 


    The brand new GocciaDiLuna Aesthetics and Wellness Center opened its doors on May 18, 2021, in one of the most prestigious and renowned streets of Rapallo, Corso Matteotti, in the heart of the city and just a step away from the beautiful Waterfront.


    It is designed to relax even visually, right from the moment you enter! In the GocciaDiLuna Beauty Center in Rapallo you will find an extremely well-kept environment, specially designed to make you forget the world outside, and give you the chance to finally dedicate a couple of hours all to yourself! The rooms are spacious, cozy and harmonious, and each room is furnished in elegant ethnic style, with furniture made of fine bamboo and pine wood.The Main Room is dedicated to the 26 types of massage and beauty treatments for the face and body, and the Wellness Pedicure which is precise and deep.
