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.

Paradise Bar (Finally, Emmanuel and Gianni see each other again) - Season 2 finale episode
Sun, 10 Aug 2025 15:42:56 GMT
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)
Sun, 03 Aug 2025 22:07:10 GMT
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).

Pee, Daddy! - Part II (The situation explodes)
Tue, 29 Jul 2025 07:31:15 GMT
And here we come to the fuse that sets off the situation between Emmanuel and Gianni.
The boy, greatly distressed by the accident that happened to little Martino while walking with him on the Orco stream (see previous episode "Pee, Daddy - Part I"), spends the afternoon with the child at the hospital, where the wound is treated and the little one is given a tetanus shot.
While Emmanuel is driving him home, in a foul mood and well aware of the reaction Antonia will have when she sees the child again in that condition, the boy receives a phone call from Gianni.
But Martino's presence at this juncture will prove explosive, and will precipitate the situation, which has reached a point of now unbearable tension.
The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Juliet, and Martino.
The soundtrack is a cover of "Sad Divide" by Autoheart.

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 14:36:11 GMT
Emmanuel demands from Antonia that he be allowed to hike up the Orco creek with Martino and the faithful Bella, but the outing turns out to be full of unforeseen events.
The boy is definitely not lucky with his son....
The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Alice and Martino (AI).
The soundtrack includes covers of "Not The Ghost" by Crane Wives and "Lithium" by Nirvana.

A pool of honey (Gianni again, finally!)
Sun, 20 Jul 2025 08:31:36 GMT
It has been four days since Gianni last telephoned Emmanuel, and the boy is in a state of painful agitation. Mayra does her best, as always, to comfort him and keep him up, succeeding to some extent, also because Emmanuel needs to confront her on the hot topic of sex.
But just when Emmanuel has resigned himself to having lost contact with Gianni forever, here comes a phone call from her. The boy is so agitated that he needs Mayra's assistance in listening to her....
The performers are Paul Emmanuel and Nicole (AI).
The soundtrack includes covers or instrumental pieces of "Love Ballad" (Autoheart), "Bewitched" (Rodgert-Hart) and Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor.

Three days without Gianni (...but with Mayra and her herbs!)
Mon, 14 Jul 2025 19:22:30 GMT
Gianni has stopped checking in with Emmanuel: the boy suffers terribly, although pride prevents him from retracing his steps. In fact, he lives attached to his cell phone, hoping that the photographer will show up again.
Good Mayra tries to cheer him up and distract him, even deploying means that are... let's say abnormal. Carlos, unexpectedly, backs her up.
The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Nicole and Anthony (AI).

Bodies under the sun (Is he a stalker?...)
Fri, 11 Jul 2025 12:30:15 GMT
It is difficult to see Emmanuel in the company of his family in the luxury of his villa, but this time here he is, to attend the first swim in the pool of little Martino: an initiative of Michele, Emmanuel's brother, who takes his role as godfather to the child very seriously.
Of course Antonia is not there: it would be too embarrassing. But it is also too much for Emmanuel, already bitter about the end of his relationship with Gianni and now disoriented by the naturalness with which his mother accepts the presence of the child at the villa, despite being unaware of the fact that he is Emmanuel's son: precisely on this topic Mrs. Helena starts a conversation with the boy, when suddenly Emmanuel's cell phone rings...
The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Betty and Martin (AI),
The soundtrack includes parts from "Stalker's Tango" by Autoheart.

The Rustic (What the fuck kind of voice does your girlfriend have?)
Mon, 07 Jul 2025 23:28:40 GMT
Emmanuel, who has come out of the experience with Gianni with broken bones (see the episode "Meet Aaron"), tries to forget the disappointment by accompanying his friend Bruno to discover a "fantastic" rustic house in the woods above Savona.
The boy will be puzzled by what he finds before his eyes.
During the return trip, however, Emmanuel receives a phone call from Gianni, which Bruno inevitably listens to...
The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Bruno and Anthony (AI).
During the episode you can listen to a piece from the "Habanera" of Bizet's Carmen.

Meet Aaron - Part II (The end of a dream)
Wed, 25 Jun 2025 20:39:03 GMT
The catastrophe is approaching: the photographer Gianni ridicules and humiliates Emmanuel, in an unthinkable comparison with the magnificent and wild Aaron.
The boy endures, both for love of Gianni and because he needs money, and tries to see the positive side of the situation: for example, an excellent lunch in a tavern and the simple spontaneity of Aaron, who has sympathy for him.
In the end, however, Gianni's words are so offensive that they unleash a tragic rebellion in Emmanuel.
The interpreters are Anthony, Vincent (Paul Emmanuel), Peter and Betty (all AI).
The soundtrack includes covers of "When You Die" by MGMT and a piece from "Promentory" by Dougie MacLean (soundtrack to "The Last of the Mohicans").
This episode marks the end of Emmanuel and Gianni's affair.
But can their story really end like this?...

Meet Aaron - Part I (What a nice surprise...)
Fri, 20 Jun 2025 07:03:46 GMT
Has Gianni decided to lose Emmanuel's love?
The photographer's behavior in this part of the episode is provocative and almost comical, but the second part will take on dramatic tones: for Emmanuel in fact it will be a very hard blow.
For now we see Gianni introduce him to an aspiring model of Canadian origins, a beautiful half-breed named Aaron.
Emmanuel, very struck by the charm of his "colleague", agrees to take pictures with him at Gianni's request, but he already realizes that something is wrong.
The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and Peter (AI).
At the beginning and end of the episode you can hear covers of "When You Die" by MGMT, sung by Gianni himself; in the central part you can hear a piece from "Promentory" by Dougie MacLean (soundtrack to "The Last of the Mohicans").

During the episode you can listen to a piece from the "Habanera" of Bizet's Carmen sung by Maria Callas.

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 23:09:20 GMT
The night that Emmanuel and Gianni spend together in the same bed continues with unpredictable developments, which see, among other things, Gianni make some confidences to the boy. Emmanuel understands the situation and with deep respect does not insist, even if it is now clear that a special and very strong feeling has been born between the two.
The memory of that experience at the chalet will remain unforgettable for both of them.
The interpreters are Vincent-Paul Emmanuel and Anthony (AI).
In the end you can hear a cover of "Lent" by Autheart.

How will that night that the two spend in the same bed end?

Emmanuel and his photographer Gianni are in the high mountains, in Les Deux-Alpes, for a photo shoot commissioned by a furrier.

There is nothing left to do but spend the night in a refuge, at the Chalet La Marmotte. But there is only one room left, and we know that Gianni has a weakness for Emmanuel...
