1. How did you get into modelling?
It all started when I was asked to host an event years ago. A few modelling offers followed—and over 15 years later, here we are. Still posing, still proud.
2. What do you do when you’re not modelling?
I work in tech and I.T. development—deep in the digital trenches! I’m also a keen traveller and an even keener cook.
3. The most spontaneous / difficult / strange thing you’ve ever done?
I once helped an elderly couple check in and get to their departure gate when airport staff totally ignored them. Spontaneous hero mode activated.
4. Life motto?
Treat people how you want to be treated. It’s simple, but it works.
5. Describe your style – Favourite brands or scents?
My personal style? Definitely with a fetish twist. Faves include Cut4Men, Joe Snyder, Cellblock13, Nasty Pig, and STUD. For fitness gear, I’m into Under Armour. As for fragrance—BOSS Bottled is my signature scent.
6. What genre of music describes you best?
Pop! It’s upbeat, a little chaotic, and has more layers than people think—just like me.
7. Where are your roots – and what’s the best thing to do in your hometown?
Born and bred Roman! The best thing you can do in Rome? Walk. Seriously—every street, fountain, and corner oozes history. Take your time, soak it in, and reward yourself with proper Italian food and wine after.
8. Name one celeb you’d like to get naughty with…
Hmm… I’d have to say the new Superman himself—Henry Cavill. Kryptonite, who?
9. Any hidden talents?
Put a phone or computer in my hands and I’ll show you a few digital tricks you didn’t see coming.
10. What’s the most interesting thing online right now?
AI tools like ChatGPT and Copilot—they’re game-changers. They streamline the boring stuff and help solve some pretty complex challenges too.
