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.

    Virginia - Part I (Emmanuel meets Virginia)
    Nov 22 2025

    Gianni takes Emmanuel with him to the deconsecrated Gothic church in Merate, near Lecco, for a very special photo shoot, in which the boy will be asked to play Apollo and the archangel Gabriel, with a view to setting up an exhibition.

    But Emmanuel, however burned by his previous experience (see "The Iron Mask"), realizes that he can no longer make excuses to avoid sexual contact with Gianni, who seems to have mellowed and "normalized" in the meantime, even though his mind occasionally seems to be clouded. Therefore, he tries to trust him.

    But a strange and unexpected encounter troubles him deeply.

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and Nicole (IA).

    The soundtrack includes instrumental tracks from "Stalker's Tango" (Autoheart).

    The Guardian Angel (Suppose one day a criminal government...)
    Nov 14 2025

    Emmanuel, upset by Gianni's attempt at violence (see "The Iron Mask"), seeks some serenity in the company of Mayra, who helps him as much as she can to prepare for the Greek philosophy exam (the boy has meanwhile enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy).

    But, quite unexpectedly, Mayra says she totally disagrees with Plato's thinking in the "Crito," and gives the boy a series of examples that leave him baffled.

    Eventually Emmanuel confides to Mayra what happened to him with Gianni: the woman, deeply affected, understands that the boy needs protection.

    The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Nicole.

    The soundtrack includes an instrumental version of "A Little Longer" by Autoheart.
