Kim Seungmin as Vittorio Ferrero

Vittorio was born in Turin, Italy, into a family where the arts and intellectual pursuits were deeply valued. His father, Alessandro, a distinguished historian, and his mother, Isabella, a talented pianist and music educator, fostered an environment rich in cultural and artistic experiences. Growing up alongside his younger sister, Ginevra, a contemporary dancer, Vittorio was immersed in a world of creativity and artistic expression from a young age.

The bond between Vittorio and Ginevra was particularly strong. Ginevra’s vibrant energy and innovative dance routines complemented Vittorio’s passion for theatre and cinema. Their collaborative projects, whether artistic or academic, were a source of mutual inspiration and support. Ginevra’s performances often served as a creative outlet for Vittorio, and he took pride in attending her shows, where he offered feedback and encouragement. In turn, Ginevra was a constant source of motivation for him, providing both emotional support and a fresh perspective on his work.

Vittorio’s relationship with his parents was marked by a deep respect and admiration for their achievements, yet it also came with its own set of challenges. While Alessandro and Isabella were supportive of Vittorio’s artistic aspirations, their traditional values sometimes conflicted with his more unconventional career path. The pressure to meet their expectations occasionally led to feelings of inadequacy and internal conflict. Nevertheless, their unwavering support and belief in his talent remained a cornerstone of his motivation. Despite the challenges, Vittorio’s family bonds were a source of strength

Vittorio’s personality is a complex blend of sensitivity, introspection, and determination. His empathetic nature allows him to connect deeply with his artistic work, imbuing his performances with genuine emotion. However, his introspective tendencies can lead to self-doubt and anxiety, particularly when faced with the pressures of a competitive field like cinema and theatre. This sensitivity manifests in various habits and preferences.

One of Vittorio’s habits is his meticulous journaling. He keeps detailed records of his thoughts, ideas, and reflections on his projects, which helps him manage his emotions and track his progress. While this practice can be therapeutic, it also occasionally leads him to overanalyze and second-guess his work. Vittorio is also an avid reader, with a particular fondness for classic Italian literature and contemporary plays. His reading not only provides relaxation but also serves as a source of inspiration for his own creative projects.

Despite the enriching experiences that Milan offers, Vittorio struggles with the city’s fast-paced, impersonal atmosphere. He finds solace in his daily rituals, such as visiting a small, quiet café near his apartment. There, he enjoys a peaceful coffee while reading or writing, which helps him feel connected to his roots and provides a moment of calm amidst the hustle of city life. He also enjoys exploring Milan’s quieter, less commercial areas, such as hidden bookshops and small art galleries, which offer a more intimate and inspiring environment.

Vittorio’s aversion to crowded, commercial spaces contrasts with his preference for serene, less populated settings. He is uncomfortable in noisy, chaotic environments and finds it difficult to concentrate and relax in such places. Additionally, he has a strong dislike for rigid, formulaic approaches to art and education. He values creativity and innovation, often feeling stifled by overly structured methods that limit artistic freedom.

When opportunities arise to work on projects in Rome, Vittorio seizes them eagerly. The city's rich historical and cultural backdrop provides a refreshing change from Milan’s intensity. During his time in Rome, he immerses himself in the city’s ancient streets and visits museums, finding inspiration in its storied environment. His explorations often lead him to picturesque spots and lesser-known historical sites, which spark new ideas and rejuvenate his creative spirit.

Vittorio remains deeply connected to his family in Turin. Regular visits home and frequent communication with his parents and Ginevra offer him emotional support and grounding. Their encouragement and understanding play a crucial role in helping him navigate the challenges of his academic and artistic journey.

Today, as a student of cinema and theatre in Milan, Vittorio continues to navigate the complexities of his environment with resilience and dedication. His journey reflects a commitment to his craft, a profound love for his hometown, and an ability to find comfort and inspiration through his personal habits and surroundings. Vittorio’s story is one of artistic perseverance, personal growth, and the pursuit of excellence despite the obstacles along the way.
