It's good work if you can get it! ☺ My bet though, is that he is waiting for his girlfriend. Any young fashionable guy can look cool in sunglasses and this guy surely does; he's pouting for you too. Makes me want to be young again. Enjoying the music as I write...I opened a new tab and yes it does make you want to dance.
You should put your Bologna photos into a travelogue.

I do not understand Italian men ... prefer the Sophia Lorens .... laughs
But I know that if you want to find beautiful people in italy, men or women, the address is Via Condotti in Rome. When I was there backpack and jeans, I felt like a beggar on this street ...
a good holiday for you

Cioa Barbara,
Do we call a female a gigola? :-)
Another really good shot from this location with the rich and warm oclor wall. His complementary color fashion in mostly blue really works well against the warm orange tone, it also match well with the bleu of the pipe and the stripe about the window.
In reality, I think men are as vain and want to be beautiful, except that women through the years has outdone us, and therefore become a way of life and society has excepted that way. In animal world, the male are always the prettier one, birds, lions, fishes, lizards...for examples, so we can be sexy for the female, to seduce them...wouldn't you like that? You can tell Benno to be more sexy for you, I have a feeling he won't like me very much after what I said, LOL.

I guess it is not the aftershave that really makes me that crazy but a little gigolo attack in the sense "through the lines", it goes non-verbal and just happens. Okay, a piercing maybe ... LOL .... I hope he does not read this ... psssssssst.roger (2012/05/01)
Hello Barbara, I think he might be a lookout for his friends who are robbing a bank down the street. Ha ha. No, he is a nice looking young man. Years ago, ladies had to be careful and cautious in Italy as the men had a tendency to pinch their exterior. He looks very intent in that direction. Watch Out! Intersting presentation. Regards , Roger

Ciao dear Barbara,
perhaps we should say that the photographer was so good to capturing the intense gaze of this young man and put it in a nice photographic composition!!! The Gigolo are now an extinct race, and women are less susceptible to the charms of professional Gigolo. Seeing the clip of David Lee Roth that you have linked, I also discovered this irreverent version, also by David Lee Roth, absolutely fantastic, that reminded me of this scene of the musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show, even if in that case the Gigolo was a trans. Brava, dear friend, as always you have posted a pleasant and interesting photo!
Ciao, have a nice evening!
Paolo

LOL, Barbara! Definitely a gigolo! Great shot and my compliments for seeing it and composing it like this. Most people would have included the man's legs, but this is one of the things that makes you unique and that's good. I really like how his hair is reflecting so blue to match his jacket. and the drain pipe adds an interesting element too.
I owe you a thank you mail and I promise to get to it soon! We had such fun last Sunday and mom can't stop talking about it! :-)
Say hi to B! Big hugs,
Linda

hello Barbara.
I don't know if I'd call him a gigolo but maybe a heart-braker and very confident young man...Common! look at his confidence at his gesture, he's certainly waiting for some beautiful young italian lady... lol
I like the combination of strong, saturated colors, makes it very young and sets the mood well for this photo.
Cheers.

he looks cool to me, but I'll agree with Kath I think he waits for his girlfriend. Strong lines and colors here. I don't think I have ever thought of a drain-pipe being attractive in a photo - a first for everything
