It’s not the first time Boselli has worked with Armani. He was actually discovered by the designer when he was six years old in 1995.
He also worked as a runway model for Armani after he turned 18 and has worked on campaigns with Moschino, Equinox, and Vogue.
In February 2016, Boselli launched a website as well as a YouTube channel to keep his fans apprised of his latest adventures.
One of his passions is fitness. Boselli will often post about his routine on his website and Instagram. He says he sometimes goes to the gym two or three times a day.

“I always believed that fitness is about lifestyle, more than anything," Boselli wrote on his website. "Walking to places, taking the stairs, being up early in the morning, embracing outdoor activities and putting real effort and passion in the workouts.”
Aside from his passion for engineering, modeling, and working out, Boselli is also into acting. He's going to star in an episode of the MTV show Trippers, where he will travel to and explore New South Wales.
Between his modeling, TV show, and YouTube channel, we'll be seeing a lot more of Pietro Boselli.
