We immediately fell in love with Rachele Moretti of Loversmanagement and Euphoria Fashion Agency. The 24 year young beauty enchants us with her terrific charisma and profound thoughts about life. Even if it sounds trivial, but the world needs more of this kind of people who walk through life with a good and open heart as well as empathy for others. Because we totally agree that empathy is one of the keys to create a world that, at least in some aspects, is more focused on the “us” and not only on the “me”. A healthy balance between self-love and love and attention also for others. Thank you for your words Rachele, we really needed them right now!

Rachele, tell us a bit about yourself and how and where you grew up…

My name is Rachele, I’m 24 and I live in Terni, a little town in the heart of Italy. As you may notice, I’m not 100% Italian: my dad is, but my mom is from São Paulo. I’m very proud of my origins: Brazil is my second home, and I feel so lucky to be part of two different cultures because that allows me to enhance my personal growth everyday. I’ve always loved differences and this is why I decided to graduate in Linguistic Mediation for Interpreters and Translators. Since I was little, I’ve always dreamed of traveling around the world to meet different cultures, to feel new emotions and compare my points of view, my beliefs and my values with others and expand my horizon. I constantly feel the need of something new, and I really enjoy discovering: places, ideas, feelings, people.

What inspired you to be in front of a camera?

My search for new experiences guides me even when modeling. Every set is an introduction to a new world, and I like thinking that I’m part of it. The purpose is to say to the spectator “Come with me!” As I see it, when shooting, communication is one of the most important aspects: in front of the camera I always do my best to connect with the moment and the people behind the lens, not just the photographer, but also with those who are going to appreciate (I hope) the result of that specific project. I like to think that people say “I can feel what she’s feeling!” Empathy is the key of an harmonious communication.

“I constantly feel the need of something new, and I really enjoy discovering: places, ideas, feelings, people.”

What things you are grateful for?

I’m really thankful for every aspect of my life. I have a lovely family, special friends and a job that I love. I’m grateful for the opportunities I have, for the experiences I live and all the good things. Even for the bad ones, cause we always learn from them. Every morning I thank God for being such a lucky girl! My mum always says “Gratitude brings gratitude, never forget to thank the universe”.

A book to read before bed?

One of the most impactful books I’ve read is “Mutant message down under” by Marlo Morgan. It’s the story of an American woman’s spiritual journey through outback Australia. Here, the Aboriginal people lead her to the discovery of real values that developed countries tend to forget and neglect. Values like simplicity, empathy, love, respect of Nature, people and she discovers the real meaning of life. I really recommend this book to everybody, every time I read it I feel an inner peace and so much hope.

Favorite place to be?

My favorite place to be is the beach, at the end of the day, when most people start to go home, the sun sets and I can hear the sound of the waves.. even better if there’s someone playing a melody whit the guitar.. how I love (and miss) those moments!

“Sometimes we should take a digital break, focus on ourselves and on what really matters. How many things we could discover!”

What do you think about Digital Detox?

In my opinion, everybody should practice digital detox. We are always connecting with people, absorbing information, and spending our precious time doing useless things on the Net. Sometimes we should take a break, focus on ourselves and on what really matters. How many things we could discover!

Your most important person in life?

The two most important people in my life are my lovely parents. I could write a book about them, but I don’t want to be long winded, so let’s just say they’re my safe haven, my strength and I feel so so grateful to them for being part of my life and teaching me the real meaning of love, trust and caring. Mum, dad.. if you’re hearing me.. I love you so!

Where do you see yourself in the future?

I don’t know where I will be in the future, I just want to keep discovering the world, feeling new emotions and fulfilling my dreams everyday, always surrounded by love, serenity and hope!
