Massimiliano Virzì As Cover Story Interview – August 2026 Magazine Edition
How do you introduce yourself?
I’m Massimiliano Virzì, the creator behind “Italian Gentleman” — an Instagram journey through timeless menswear, travel and the art of living well, based in Milan, Italy.
Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?
Building an authentic voice in a space saturated with fast trends wasn’t easy. Staying true to classic elegance, rather than chasing every fleeting fashion wave, meant growing slower — but growing with a real, engaged community who shares that same appreciation for quality over quantity.
What do people usually not know about you?
Behind the polished shots, there’s a lot of research and passion for craftsmanship — I spend as much time studying the history of a well-made jacket or the story of a destination as I do shooting the final content.
What sets you apart from others?
I focus specifically on Italian elegance — not just fashion for fashion’s sake, but a lifestyle built on quality, refinement and attention to detail, blending menswear with travel and everyday sophistication.
What are your upcoming major events?
I’m currently working on new collaborations with hotels and lifestyle brands across Italy, bringing my audience along on curated travel and style experiences.
What expert advice would you like to give?
Invest in fewer, better things. A well-tailored piece or a well-chosen destination will always say more about you than something chosen in a rush.
