Modeling in Morocco is not seen as much as a profession as it can be in Europe, because there aren’t many clients or international agencies in the market. I think that the mix of my roots, Moroccan and Italian – I should say Neapolitan, as Sophia Loren once said! – helped me a lot in keeping an open mind. Speaking more than one language and being exposed to different cultures and people help us develop an unbiased perspective and non-judgmental approach to life. – Gennaro Auletto
