At the beginning of the Fabio phenomenon, it was estimated that his likeness on the cover of a book could increase the sales by 40 percent. The author, who is also Fabio’s lawyer, has previously worked with other “unique personalities who were visionaries or iconoclasts in their time. From Bertrand Russell and Salvador Dali to Buzz Aldrin and Mohammad Ali, I experienced firsthand the unique qualities of legendary personalities.” Fabio comes from a well-to-do Italian family and doesn’t need the money or the validation of being a star. He has a “vision” that he wants to share with the world in the form of self-penned romance novels, calendars, exercise videos, a CD and a role on the television show Acapulco H.E.A.T. He is self-invented and living proof indeed that life is art. Whether this art is high or low is for the discriminating viewer to decide. SA
