Fate brought us to Bocconi, Andrea did the rest

Andrea says he noticed Bea on the first day of uni because she was being extra noisy while frantically taking notes (this sounds absolutely believable, but we do know he has a thing for tall blonde girls). He played gentleman for 5 minutes, but when the time for proper introduction came, he basically insulted Bea because of some Italian basket rivalry. Yes, Italian basketball exists. Bea did not know it either.


Despite this awkward start, we ended up in the same friend group, and that’s when the fun really kicked off.

A man on a mission

Since Andrea tricked Bea into giving him her phone number, he texted her EVERY SINGLE DAY. Commitment level: PRO.


After a first kiss in a club that now is a super market, Andrea fell in the daunting challenge of friendzone.

It took a home made meal featuring tiramisú (the last thing he ever cooked) and a sprinkle of jealousy to finally make Bea cave.


If you're reading this, you likely already know how the story unfolds.
