<\/p>\nItalian charmer Marcello Muratori has left a swoon-worthy impression on the viewers since his first appearance in Netflix\u2019s fourth installment of Emily in Paris. The man is oozing with charisma and many viewers have taken notice of Emily\u2019s character development moments after he came into the picture.<\/p>\n
Considering the amount of his screen time, we don\u2019t know much yet about Marcello\u2019s true character and the pieces of baggage he carries. The good thing, however, is he\u2019s not as mysterious as the actor who portrays him.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview, Eugenio Franceschini who plays Marcello in the series sat with PAGEONE and shared more of his personal and professional journey.<\/p>\n
Get to know more about the man behind Marcello ahead.<\/p>\n
Fans of Emily in Paris know the tension between Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Emily (Lily Collins) since the first season, but with Marcello\u2019s unforgettable appearance and \u201crizz\u201d in Season 4, Gabriel\u2019s chances of rekindling his relationship with Emily seems to fade. Although a different kind of tension between Marcello and Gabriel can be felt as they vie for Emily\u2019s heart and hand, they might be closer than we think.<\/p>\n
In the interview, Franceschini shared how he talks with Bravo off-camera mostly during breaks from their shoot, revealing a genuine connection between the two actors. \u201cI had only one scene with him but I spoke with him a lot out of the scene,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
\u201cI found him super funny, super smart guy. I like him, really. I\u2019m not joking or I\u2019m not saying things just to say that. He\u2019s an amazing guy, very smart, and he knows what he wants. I like him, really,\u201d Franceschini added.<\/p>\n
This candid exchange highlights the easy camaraderie between Franceschini and his co-stars, not only with Lily Collins who he describes as his closest friend on set. His off-screen bond with Bravo only adds another layer of warmth to their on-screen performances, offering fans a glimpse of the friendly dynamics behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Unlike Marcello, who hails from a wealthy family with a London education, Franceschini grew up in a small village in Verona, nestled in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He prefers to live his life away from the glitz and glamour, protecting the life he has built for himself and his family. Despite the stark contrast in their backgrounds, Franceschini feels a strong connection to Marcello, particularly in their shared desire for privacy.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Marcello is] not a normal man with a normal life. He\u2019s special,\u201d Franceschini said. \u201cMy background is more normal, I grew up in a small village in the countryside in Verona. One thing I think we have in common is he doesn\u2019t like to show how important he is\u2026\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
While Marcello may exude irresistible charm and an undeniable presence, Franceschini reveals that his own down-to-earth nature mirrors his character\u2019s subtlety, proving that humility can be just as captivating as wealth and power.<\/p>\n
For Franceschini, vulnerability is not just a personal value\u2014it\u2019s a crucial element in any meaningful relationship, something he believes extends beyond his own life and into his portrayal of Marcello in the series.
\nIn the show, Marcello\u2019s magnetic charm and suave demeanor are undeniable, but beneath that exterior lies a man who, like everyone, carries his own vulnerabilities. Franceschini connects with his character on a deep level, emphasizing that relationships\u2014whether romantic or otherwise\u2014are rooted in trust, acceptance, and the willingness to embrace each other\u2019s weaknesses.<\/p>\n
Drawing from his own experiences with love, he shares, \u201cI think it\u2019s important to speak about our weakness. If you want to stay with a person for all your life, the first thing is that this person has to accept your weakness. This is important.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Franceschini, both off-screen and in his role as Marcello, it\u2019s the courage to be vulnerable that ultimately strengthens the bonds we share with others.<\/p>\n

Certain filming locations hold a special place in Franceschini\u2019s heart, not just for their beauty but for the unforgettable moments they offer behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
Among his favorite spots are the iconic Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps in Rome, both of which are not only central to Emily in Paris but also etched in his memory. While these locations are typically teeming with tourists, he recalls the rare opportunity to experience them in solitude, away from the crowds.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps,\u201d Franceschini revealed. \u201cI think [we filmed at] 5 a.m. and it\u2019s all for us. It was the first time that we have this piece of art just for [us] and it was really a moment that I will keep with me for the rest of my life absolutely,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n
The experience, as Franceschini describes it, was a rare gift, capturing the magic of Rome in a way few are lucky enough to see.<\/p>\n
Franceschini is stepping into a completely new role for his upcoming TV project, where he\u2019ll be portraying a policeman, a shift from his previous characters and an exciting challenge for the actor.<\/p>\n
Although details are still under wraps, Franceschini teases the project, which was filmed on December. \u201cIt\u2019s Italian, only in Italy. It will be also on Rai, RaiPlay\u2014that is a channel for the national TV,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s coming out maybe next fall.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Franceschini admits that the role of a policeman is a dramatic departure from what fans might expect, he is excited by the opportunity. \u201cYeah, completely [different]. I\u2019m a policeman, so it\u2019s completely another thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
His excitement is palpable, hinting that this new character will allow him to explore different dimensions of his acting range.<\/p>\n
Franceschini\u2019s path to stardom reflects both his talent and his deep commitment to his craft. After making his film debut in 2012 with \u2018White as Milk, Red as Blood\u2019, his performances in \u2018Sapore di te\u2019 and \u2018Maldamore\u2019 earned him the Guglielmo Biraghi Award, marking a major milestone in his career.<\/p>\n
As he embraces new challenges, including his role as a policeman in an upcoming TV series, Franceschini\u2019s career is clearly on an upward trajectory, and audiences can look forward to many more compelling performances from this rising star.<\/p>\n
