Biography

[edit]

Pietro, the eldest of four brothers, was born in Negrar in Verona, but raised in Brescia which is his hometown.[7][8] When he was 6-years-old, he was discovered by an agent, and began his modelling career with Armani Junior.[9] He completed his secondary education from Liceo Scientifico Statale Annibale Calini in 2007.[10][11]

He then moved to London at the age of 18 to study mechanical engineering at University College London (UCL)–graduating with a first-class degree (BEng) in 2010 and a PhD in computational fluid dynamics in 2016.[12][13] During his PhD, he was a teaching assistant from September 2010 to June 2013, a lecturer from September 2013 to June 2014, and a visiting lecturer from October 2014 to March 2015, in UCL.[14][15]

In 2015, a Facebook post from 2014 by one of his students, which mentioned that he was also a successful model, went viral.[16][17][18] Reacting to his fame, while Boselli has been appreciative; he has spoken against male objectification, and the 'dumb model' stereotype and similar prejudices, on multiple occasions.[7][19][20][21][22][23]

Modeling

[edit]

Boselli is represented by British modelling agency Models 1.[24] In 2014, he won first place at the World Beauty Fitness & Fashion (WBFF) European ProAm event in the fitness model category.[17] He has been seen in American modeling campaigns for clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch and fitness club Equinox,[9] as well as the fashion house Moschino and Vogue magazine. He has also appeared in spreads for GQ Style and was featured on the cover of Attitude.[25][26]

In 2016, he was signed by Armani for their EA7 campaign.[4][3] In the same year, he founded sportswear brand Petra Design.[27] In August 2020, he was featured on a lenticular cover of GQ Italia which switched between his image and an image of Michelangelo's David. The magazine was successfully sued by the Galleria dell'Accademia, which holds the image rights of the statue, for using a photo of the statue without their permission.[28]
