From Modeling to Ministry: Italy's Handsome Heartthrob Pursues a Higher Calling

Edoardo went on to recall that he had lived with two priests last year, “the most beautiful experience of his life”, which inspired his faith.

The former model reportedly went on to study theology and worked in two parishes of the Florentine diocese.

He admitted that although it “terrified him” to abandon his dream and become a priest, Edoardo was sure he would not regret the decision “because now I can shout: I am Edoardo, I am 21 years old and I am happy”.
