DEEPER DIVE:

➟ vanni was born in brooklyn, new york, usa. but, at the age of four, his family immigrated to chile when his father retired from being a color commentator for professional wrestling promotions in the usa. vanni has not been back to the states since he left. because of this, vanni grew up learning about chilean culture and speaking spanish with his teachers and peers. vanni learned how to speak english through conversing with his parents and acting as a translator for them. additionally, vanni’s parents hired a personal tutor for him to become fluent in english. he has very little knowledge of american culture besides what he has learned through various tv shows, music, and news media.

➟ vanni suffers from a horrible case of resting bitch face. his parents tell him its because of his italian and new york roots. the man is also an introvert. he prefers to live up in his own head and sit back to observe the rambunctious parties. however, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy his fair share of attention. vanni would argue his introversion and mean looks are all part of what attracts the ladies to him. despite being a hopeless romantic, vanni also doesn’t see the harm in fooling around with whatever lady is interested in him at the moment. “why not give her the night of her life? she’s interested in me.” being born on valentine’s day and named after don giovanni, vanni lives up to expectations of being a womanizer but has never initiated such encounters. vanni only sees the value in his effort if he wants to seriously pursue someone to be his life parter.

➟ vanni graduated with two degrees in photography and digital media. while attending the university, vanni was living with his parents. as soon as he graduated and had saved enough money because he didn’t want to feel as though he was “leeching” off of his parents, vanni moved to casablanca where he now resides in his own apartment and works as a florist at casablanca blooms & coffee.

➟ vanni values the beauty of art in all of its media. he has shown an interest in photography since he was very young. his parents immigrated to chile because they fell in love with the tourist sights from when they’d frequently go on vacation in the latin country. photos of the natural beauty of chile have always decorated the walls of his home since he was young and vanni has since then captured his own visions and sights of the country that’s adopted him. it has only been a year since vanni transitioned the central piece of his photography from the natural beauty of chile to human models.

➟ vanni has been surrounded by love his whole life. his father adored vanni’s mother with a love that vanni has only been chasing for himself. he would often tag along with his father to the florista and found himself falling in love with the various different flowers, their meanings, and the art of creating a bouquet. to vanni, there is no purer declaration of love than creating a bouquet. being a florist means he can spread this love with others as well as practice for the day he finds someone who he would grow a bouquet for from seedlings.

➟ besides photography, vanni’s hobbies include: working out, bodybuilding, playing video games, watching anime, and wrestling. he is a fan of lucha libre and frequently attends shows when he can. while in school, vanni did train to become a professional wrestler with the dreams of being able to go to the states and make a name for himself. however, vanni found his love shifting to his current professions and now vanni wrestles to stay in shape, mostly.
