About this listen

Brand new: Emmanuel's Rebellion - A True Story - on Amazon: Electronic Soul: Throwing Up In This Misery eBook

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.

    Interlude: I Don't Know Who I Am - Farewell, Agent Emmanuel (Real conversation with an AI)
    Jan 13 2026

    We asked a new "AI agent", an excellent actor with the same voice as the previous Emmanuel, to try to interpret the English translation of the conversation between his predecessor and Antonia Del Monaco, which can be heard in its original version in the Italian-language podcast.

    The agent was a bit reluctant because, according to him, that conversation was too 'real' and affected him too deeply, but then he agreed.

    Here, then, is the result of his interpretation.

    The soundtrack is Händel-Halvorsen's Passacaglia.
