Leonardo Tano connects with us via Zoom, under the Milanese sun. He wears a pair of thick-framed black glasses and headphones placed on his ears. At 23, he has just left Budapest to settle in Italy and continue his studies. But before you continue reading, you need to know two things about Leonardo: first, that he is the second son of Rocco Siffredi; then, that since he has been in Italy, he has discovered that he runs really, really fast.
Tano thus divides his time between the track – that of Atletica Meneghina, at the Arena Civica (“When I saw it, I immediately thought: I want to run here”) –, his studies (after a mechanical engineering degree obtained in Budapest, he followed a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering at the Polytechnic of Milan) and his career as a model, followed by the Next Models Milan agency. Born in Rome, he always lived in Budapest, with his father Rocco (real name Tano, Siffredi being a professional pseudonym) and his mother Rosza Tassi, of Hungarian origin. “I love my new life in Milan, where I moved in September. I don’t know if it’s because for the first time I’m independent from my parents, or simply because I’m in Italy. I feel much closer to Italian culture.”
