About this listen

NEW: You can find Emmanuel's story with photographer Gianni on Amazon in the form of a listenable ebook: My Story With Gianni.

The protagonist of this mini-story is a boy named Emmanuel, a handsome twenty-year-old who suddenly finds himself in financial difficulty and to cope with the emergency thinks of trying his hand at a career as a “part-time” model, despite his shyness and introversion; in this attempt he is encouraged by his faithful friends Carlos and Mayra.

As chance would have it, Emmanuel’s choice falls on Gianni Gandolfini, a rather well-known fashion photographer in the Milan area.

Gianni is immediately struck by the boy’s shy and particular beauty and makes him his favorite subject, launching him into the world of fashion.

Emmanuel, in turn, without realizing it, falls in love with the image of himself that the photographer reflects back to him like a mirror.

The story will soon take an unexpected turn.

  • BONUS TRACK: "The Exhibition" - Part I (Emmanuel-Christian at Gianni's exhibition)
    Aug 22 2025

    Many months have passed since Gianni and Emmanuel met at the Paradise Bar (see "Paradise Bar"), and the two are now a stable, if clandestine, couple.

    Gianni has decided to organize a large exhibition of his best photos in Milan and wants Emmanuel to be present at the opening.

    But some photos depict Emmanuel as a model, and Gianni's partner Massimiliano, a famous painter, will also be there...

    How does Emmanuel avoid being recognized?

    Gianni has an idea: he dyes the boy's hair red, puts glasses on him, and dresses him like a somewhat nerdy college student.

    From now on he will no longer be Emmanuel, but Christian, Gianni's secretary.

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Mark, and Nicole.

  • Paradise Bar (Finally, Emmanuel and Gianni see each other again) - Season 2 finale episode
    Aug 10 2025

    We've reached the crucial moment: after two months apart, Emmanuel and Gianni meet again, at a Milanese venue with the significant name of Bar Paradiso.

    Emmanuel at the beginning is cold, still resentful of Gianni's treatment over the Aaron affair (see "Meet Aaron"), but Gianni's words gradually soften him, leading to an unpredictable (but ultimately predictable) outcome.

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Anthony (AI).

    The soundtrack includes covers of "Love Ballad" by Autoheart and Fabrizio De Andrè's "Amore che vieni, amore che vai."

  • The Trial (Emmanuel decides he has had enough)
    Aug 3 2025

    Apparently Emmanuel's family and friends have decided to pave the way for Gianni: they subject the boy to a kind of trial for the accident that happened to little Martino, for which he is the first to feel responsible.

    Outraged at the incomprehension by which he is surrounded, Emmanuel reacts as is obvious: he is now ready to throw himself into the arms of the only person by whom he feels unconditionally loved: Gianni.

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Sarah, and Betty (AI).

    The soundtrack is a cover of "Gold" (Autoheart).
