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.

    Emmanuel, in the disguise of Christian, overhears a stormy dialogue between Gianni and Maximilian, during which he has confirmation of the jealous "Massy's" violent contempt for him and hears Gianni claim that Massy is his one great love.

    Without hesitation the boy, shocked and hurt, leaves the show and goes to Antonia's house so that he can spend some time in the company of his son Martino.

    But it is late, and Antonia already has Emmanuel's couch-bed ready...

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Mark and Alice (AI).

    The soundtrack includes a bizarre cover of Air's "Sexy Boy" (Taormina remix).

    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.
