“I feel like a walking work of art” he stated with great tranquility in his presentation video at theIsland of the Famous 2024. Pietro Fanelli is the shipwrecked “poet” of this edition of the reality show, which also included some non-famous people in the cast. To be honest, however, the young competitor is not a completely new face to the social media audience and even to the television audience, albeit due to his participation in a program that has not left its mark.
Pietro Fanelli, the bohemian poet of the island
Not even time to land on theIsland of the FamousPietro Fanelli began to make himself known to the castaways and the public triggering mixed feelings. The 23 year old from Turin but transplanted to Milan remembers the characters of maidiregolliana memory of Gialappa’s, with her dreamy look that it makes you continually wonder if it exists or does. And this is where viewers were divided: is it his true way of being or a mask constructed around a table to make people talk about himself?
His presentation video in which he talks about his family and his greatest aspirations is a whole programme: “I move through the world bringing poetry, seeing poetry, breathing poetry and I will die of poetry – he began -. I make everything I experience poetic, I feel like a walking work of art“. And again: “I was born in Turin but I have lived in Milan for four years. I have always loved my family but I wanted a bit of solitude, a bit of independence to discover my being. I arrived in Milan without a euro in my pocket. I am a bohemian, a wanderer. I am simply a human being who carries forward his love for something and produces a work from it. For me the rules are oppressive because I can’t express myself to the fullest of who I am.”
The castaways against Pietro Fanelli
“For me it will be a moment of absolute beauty,” is how he described how he imagined his experience atIsland of the Famous 2024 before landing in Honduras together with fellow NIP castaways. An excellent omen, if it weren’t for the fact that already in the first 48 hours of his stay on the reality show he managed to grab the total dislike of his fellow adventurers.
Accused of not cooperating, of isolating himself and walking around the beach with a pedantic air of superiority, the first to attack him was the model of Senegalese origin Khady Gueye, rather annoyed by his attitude. “They took me because I have to demonstrate that I am against TV shows, against social media and against reality shows, he told me in his exact words,” she revealed live during the first episode ofIsland aired on Monday 8 April. “I’m not a clown who churns out poems on command,” the young poet replied irritably.
The suspicion that his is a solid armor mounted ad hoc is completely legitimate, especially after seeing him prey to an initial moment of discouragement in the middle of the night. “I miss her so much,” he repeated through tears referring to her girlfriend Alessandra Scarci.
Pietro Fanelli’s harsh words on reality shows
In fact, the claim doesn’t hold water. Although he is not “famous” in the strict sense, Fanelli has a certain following on social media – particularly on TikTok – and has participated in the program in the past Summer Job. A reality show, coincidentally, about which he had not expressed any sweet words.
“Since I am a megalomaniac, narcissist, egocentric, bastard and I am very impulsive and impatient, I had the tragic and stupid idea of participating in a reality show, which is the biggest trash and rubbish I’ve ever seenso appearing there as a participant creates an unbearable shame and disgust for me – he said, then also covertly referring to reality shows such asIsland of the Famous -. I regretted it tremendously. I never wanted to do TV or TikTok. This stuff disgusts me. (…) TikTok and reality TV just burned me, people associate me with that crap and don’t take me seriously. (…) I want to reiterate that I love art and not all this chaos of bullshit like Canale 5, trappers and social media etc”. Yet he went to Honduras, completely nullifying this severe judgment.
