Introducing Fulvio Varnacano

I apologise if my latest work I’m posting about is for Italians only… One of the funniest shooting I’ve ever done, a video for Nike Live starring Fabio Cannavaro (yes, that’s him!).

A bit of background to let you understand the story: when Cannavaro was a kid, he used to be a ball-boy of Napoli when Maradona was playing there. Cannavaro grew up and became the great footballer we all know, while a friend of him decided to pursue a career as ball boy, becoming the best ball boy of the world. The short documentary above tells his story. If you like him, you can become a friend of Fulvio Varnacano on Facebook. The creative idea is by Carlo Cavallone and Alvaro Sotomayor from W+K Amsterdam, who also directed the video and unveiled Fabio’s acting talent.
