Published in the Italian newspaper "Gazzetta del Sud"


The story of Roberto Petrassi the "pizza boy" of San Marco Argentano become a symbol of the Maison Dior 

                               The "four cheese" that changed his life 
_____________________________________________________________________________ 


From "pizza boy" for an Italian restaurant on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn "golden boy" of New York fashion house Dior. The "American dream" of Brad Petrassi, in the world, Roberto Petrassi, 21 year old from San Marco Argentano (Cosenza), has been realized. Four years have passed since that fateful day when a certain Mr. Raf Simons for Roberto a name as any, given his age of just 17, he ordered a pizza with four cheeses. In fact, good Roberto would never have imagined that a home delivery, to earn a few extra dollars, would change his life. He never knew, in short, that this gentleman was none other the artistic director of the Maison Dior in New York. - My encounters with simons was the strangest of my young life - he even told emphatically Roberto - I knocked on his door complete with a sign, expect the voice to give me the back; I faced this strange character who stared at me looking at me from head to toe and said, "he poses that box, go to the office lady next door and tell her that you're the new spring-summer collection model". Strange but true, so he began the career of Roberto Petrassi, who later became Brad, a boy of San Marco Argentano, in his early twenties whose "American dream" came true. Now, four years later, the boy has already ridden the catwalks of haute couture major cities. And with the staff of the Maison Dior he has achieved the greatest satisfaction of his life. The highlight, for Brad, however, arrived last March 6, when he was presenting the intimate Dior in "Paris Fashion Week". In the dressing room - he added Brad - there was great excitement among the organizers, but we were unaware models of what was happening. Once on the catwalk we understood the reason for so much excitement: there were room for Sharon Stone and Angelina Jolie with their husbands. I'll never forget that experience, I went on stage with the piece of Hevy Cross "Gossip". Uploaded by rousing music of "Gossip", I let myself go, I did the best performance by far in my career. During my performance, with the "eye", I realized that Miss Stone looked at me satisfied and amused, he approached the ear of her husband and I realized that he was doing un'osservaznione on me. He'll never know what he said, but that's okay. What can I ask for? - Yes, because now he is not only one of the many models of "Dior" in New York, his image in the giant poster was chosen to represent the intimate male line of Christian Dior, visible from every corner of Broadway Street, the 'agora of the "Big Apple" the most famous all over the world.
