Angela Rosa Dellamora
Angela joined the SCA in February of 2006 after being (slightly) hijacked by members of Musica Draconis at the Beaverton Farmer's Market Demo in the fall of 2005.
Angela plays in the Baronies of Stromgard, Three Mountains and Blatha an Oir, as well as in the Shires of Dragon's Mist and Mountain Edge. She is the mother of Gianni Dellamora, the 2006 - 2007 and 2007 - 2008 Youth Champion of Stromgard and also the 2008 Champion of Three Mountains. Her household is known in the Rivers Region as Camp Italia. Her signature token at any event is the vase of yellow roses always present at the site, along with the usual gathering of friends, newcomers and passers-by, all of whom are being fed copiously!
In performance venues, Angela is a mezzo soprano with some 30 years of vocal training. At SCA events, she and other members of the Knust Consort/Musica Draconis (Dorian Longwind of Neumes, Nikolai Grendal Gornych,Tadhg O Cuileannain, Anna, Arlys o Gordon, Francesca Testarossa de' Martini, Havoise de Rohan, Athena Smith, Gianni Dellamora, Claire de Burgh, Papeus Fortunatus and Eleanor Diane de Remy) can be found wandering about singing, strumming, fiddling, drumming, tooting, blowing and whistling, or doing just about anything else to make music.
Interests include the making of historical and modern clothing (www.gotgarb.com) which are made and sold online and at events, tents and pavilions, which are also made and sold online and on site; cooking, singing, knitting, and equestrian activities. During April of 2007, with the unlimited and talented assistance of Cara Dea DaFortuna and many others, Angela autocratted Faire in the Grove, Pacific University's third annual Medieval Faire. (www.faireinthegrove.com) Next year promises to be even bigger and better! Come to the Faire!
Angela is now apprenticed to Madonna Comtessa Ilaria Veltri degli Ansari, Lady wife to Earl Edward Ian Anderson and a former Queen of Caid.
During the past year there have been many changes and developments. In February, Angela contested for the honor of being Stromgard's A&S Champion. It was her honor to be nobly defeated by Her Ladyship Fionnabhair inghean Donnchaidh Guthrie. Shortly thereafter, Angela & Gianni departed for a week in the mud at Estrella War.
In April of 2008, Faire in the Grove once again took place at Pacific University in Forest Grove and was wonderfully attended by thousands of the populace and public. Her dear friend Alexander James Adams gave several wonderful and moving sets which anchored the performances of many other talented musicians, dancers, jugglers and entertainers.
This year, Faire in the Grove promises to be more wondrous than ever --- a two day event hosted at McMenamin's Grand Lodge.
M'lady Angela may have been too humble to point out that her garb has been showcased on the Italian Renaissance website Realm of Venus. --José Cabrera de Castilla
