World famous Italian models

After talking about the most popular Italian models in Italy and abroad , now it’s the turn of the boys. Let’s find out together who are the famous and popular Italian models all over the world. 

Mariano di Vaio

Fashion blogger but above all Italian model at the top of his career, (new) dad and adorable companion. Mariano was born in Assisi in 1989 and soon understood that he wanted to pursue a career as a model, so much so that at 18 he was hired for numerous collaborations by brands such as Hugo Boss, Cavalli, Tommy Hilfiger and many others, who see enormous potential in him. And what Mariano is capable of is soon the proof.

In fact, in 2012 he officially opens his blog MdVStyle which makes him known to the general public, not only as a model but also as a connoisseur of fashion and therefore fashion blogger. In short, a bit of the female alter ego of Ferragni.

Thanks to his resourcefulness and always assisted by his agency Nohow, Mariano continues to make giant steps, up to becoming one of the most coveted and sought after models of the international fashion biz.

Fabio Mancini is two years older than Mariano and comes from Bad Homburg vor der Hohe in Germany from a multi-ethnic family. His pope is in fact Italian, originally from the municipality of Castellaneta, while his mother is Italian-Indian.

Maybe it’s the mixture of different ethnic groups or maybe just being born under a lucky star: the fact is that Fabio is one of those breathtaking beauties. His career as an Italian model however attracted the spotlight only four years ago in Milan, when he was chosen by  Giorgio Armani  not only as a model for fashion shows, but also as a real testimonial of his advertising campaigns.

Fabio was also recognized by the models.com site  as one of the 25 sexiest guys on the planet and is a candidate to become more and more a reference in national and international men’s fashion.

Pietro Boselli

This Italian model was born in Negrar, province of Verona, on December 3, 1988.

His modeling career is linked to lucky coincidences that begin when he is only 6 years old and he is chosen for an advertising campaign for Armani Junior. Later he abandoned fashion and studied engineering, with a master’s degree also in London.

Back in Italy, he proposes for a university doctorate and one of his students sends a photo of the handsome professor to some friends. In short, that photo goes around the web and Boselli becomes the male face, with his black hair, intense gaze, the most clicked of 2014.
