Ludovico Benazzo, born and raised in Torino, Italy, just completed three years at the European Business School of Economics at Oxford University. He spent one year in Paris, one year in London, and one year in Berlin studying international business management. Between his hectic class schedules and internship programs at school he finds time to model part-time.

At 6'2", Ludovico is dreadfully romantic, amusing and utterly charming. Educated and thoughtful, he is first in line for a good time. At 26, he's an up-and-coming male model, palling around with Victoria Silvstedt in the Summer '97 GUESS? advertising campaign. The campaign was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada by renowned photographer, Dewey Nicks. Ludovico is yet another model discovery by Paul Marciano, President and Creative Director of GUESS?, Inc.

He was 22-years-old when a friend took pictures of him and showed them to fashion photographer, Mario Testino in Paris. Mario told Ludovico that he "summarized the essence of male beauty." Almost immediately, Ludovico was booked for the worldwide Gucci campaign.

In his free time, he enjoys playing volleyball, going to the theater, acting, reading, traveling, and jogging. After obtaining his degree, he hopes to link his modeling career to a profession like fashion marketing. But for now, modeling is treating him pretty well.
