Edoardo Santini said he had finished his theater and dance studies and was living in Florence preparing for the role
The Italian model Edoardo Santini, 21 years old, decided he abandons his career in the fashion world to become a priest. In 2019 he was elected “the most handsome man in Italy” from the Il Bello d’Italia competition, promoted by the ABE fashion group.
In a video published on social media, Santini said he left his theater and dance studies to move to Florence and invest in his career as a priest. Since last year she has been living with two priests and studying for the role.
“At 21, I am on the path to becoming a priest, God willing. I have decided to give up modeling, acting and dancing, but I will not abandon all my passions, I will simply live them differently, offering them to God,” he said.
“At the end of the year, it was natural for me to ask the bishop to participate in the preparatory course, the year before life in the seminary. And here I am, studying theology and serving two parishes in the Florentine diocese” he continued.
He said he received criticism for his decision: “Of course there are people who talk behind my back. There are those who have no problem telling me that I’m a disappointment, even in my family. But there are also those who support me “. , believers and non-believers.”
Even before abandoning his modeling career, Edoardo was already publishing religious messages on social media. In one of his first posts on Instagram he writes: “The body is a gift, let’s explore it. But let’s put it at the service of the Spirit. Then you will realize that there are no imperfections because we are all reflections of God”. .”
He has more than 20 thousand followers on the social network and the video in which he announces his path to becoming a priest has already received more than 299 thousand views.
