Sportrait: Italian Footballers
Dolce & Gabbana have wrangled five gorgeous Italian footballers to model their latest underwear in a new campaign: Manuele Blasi, Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo, Gianluca Zambrotta, Fabio Cannavaro. If their names alone aren't sexy enough, here they are in all their glory (well, most of it).
And the next question is, which style works for you?

You know, if you go to the LDS Welcoming Centre on Temple Square in SLC, you see painted walls depicting the men and women of "Ancient America" and of the Mormon pioneers. They are all depictions of mesomorphic rock-hard sculpted human beings.
If some individuals look at many gay and gay-affirming blogs, the depictions of gay and lesbian women as extremely good-looking and well-built, and of course, well endowed in penile dimension and girth, with huge scrota, often purposely intimidate the gay or lesbian without those attributes...some by nature, and mostly by nurture.

Mamma mia... that's a spicy meatball...

They're all very handsome men....but for some reason, their bodies all look very similiar...which is rather weird. I think I would appreciate the ads more if it focused on each guy individually. A little body hair would be very nice on a couple of them.

Has any brand ever so flagrantly sought a gay audience while blithely refusing to acknowledge same? This is pissing me off.

They all are where I live. I guess we are lucky here.

Why would someone introduce waxing to Italians? Who's next, the Greeks?? For the love of God, hide the hirsute Russians!!

Donald I'm not sure what you're talking about with the scrota and the penises. Do you mean that the men where you live look like the guys in the picture? And while the models for Dolce and Gabbana are pretty hot, I don't think that the depiction of their genitalia is off-base... their packages look about the same as most of the relatively fit guys at my gym. I'd prefer to see a little body hair though... they're Italians, for God's sake...

I'm buying several new pairs as long as my new underwear comes with at least one of those boys in them.
Posted by: Robert In WeHo | Apr 4, 2006 3:07:20 PM
Damn! They are hot!!!!
Posted by: Roy | Apr 4, 2006 5:27:45 PM
I was commenting on Raymonds posting. They are hot and I do like em smooth. Not that's what I married but......

Andy,
Do you know who photographed the D&G campaign?
thanks.

Attactive, yes, gorgeous, not.

This is an ad for clothes? I'm so out of the loop.
Posted by: Chad Hanging | Apr 4, 2006 11:51:33 PM
Yeah, for some reason this photo does nothing for me. And I usually go for the Mediterraneans.

I just wet myself. Can someone please throw me a towel?
Posted by: Damien Tilden | Apr 6, 2006 4:10:23 PM
I just love that Zambrotta is the only one wearing briefs in every picture.
Posted by: mcf | Apr 8, 2006 3:13:39 PM
Just to point out the hypocrisy of Dolce and Gabbana: Cannavaro, the one with the tattooed arm, is a well-known fascist, and he "heils" supporters with the fascist-nazist "heil hitler" sign. His tattoo actually reads "DUX", which was the title of Mussolini.
Nice job numnuts! I'm sure your shorts sell a lot more. Thousands of gay people killed by a$$holes like Cannavaro would definetly buy them!
Too bad they're dead.

If you go to www.photofiddle.com, you can see the photograph everyday as a painting.
Upload, choose the genre of painting you want. Order. 3 days later, a beautiful artwork on museum-quality stretch canvas is delivered to your door.
It's even more beautiful -- and much bigger than the original photograph.

iloveusernames, i think you're talking about Paolo Di Canio. he's not in the picture, he plays for the Lazio team.
Posted by: ze polop! | May 24, 2006 12:49:11 PM
Goodmorning,
I have a quetion and I hope you can help me. Do you have a e-mailadress for me from Dolce & gabanna? I want to get in contact with them about the ad with the Italian Football players.
Thank you very much, regards
Dennis

Where can I pick me up one of those?

Just 5 minutes is all I need!
Posted by: Jess | Jun 12, 2006 9:10:17 PM
Could someone please remove the UNTRUE comment about Cannavaro being a fascist. Whoever wrote it (shame on you) looks to have confused Cannavaro with Di Canio, who was recently punished for his fascist salute.
Freedom of speech and all that... but posting nasty lies like this against an innocent man disgraces a site like this.
So, please.... REMOVE.
Posted by: Charles | Jun 14, 2006 9:50:12 AM
Agreed!!! DiCanio is the nasy fascist. Cannavaro is a kick-ass footballer, and obviously very hot. Some people won't scroll to the bottom of the page to find that out!
REMOVE REMOVE REMOVE!

where can you purchase those posters?
Posted by: romulo aromin | Jul 8, 2006 6:11:25 AM
They should have included de Rossi, he's so cute. Anyway, among these men in the foto, I would like to believe that Cannavaro is the sexiest. That's only my own personal opinion.
Posted by: joel | Jul 9, 2006 5:47:16 PM
I can't believe my eyes! I didn't know these were under those jersies. But why isn't Totti in these pictures?!

Coming across one of these photos on a magazine is what made me see Andrea Pirlo (2nd. from the right in the 1st.& second pic, 1st. from the left in the 3rd. pic) from a new, very interesting perspective. He's soooo hot, I haven't been this obsessed on somebody for ages, I feel 15 again! I've met Brad Pitt through work but I'd have given anything to meet Andrea Pirlo instead of him! P.S.: The players are (refer to 3rd. pic): Andrea Pirlo, Fabio Cannavaro, Gennaro Gattuso, Gianluca Zambrotta and Manuele Blasi.

Gatissimos!!! Gostosos!Andrea Pirli, you are tudo de bom!

I've never been so proud to be of Italian heritage. World Cup Champs AND freaking hotties to boot! I've never been the type to be starstruck, but I have to admit to a recent obsession with Fabio Cannavaro. Amazing player, fantastic team captain, and just plain drop-dead gorgeous ... and you should see him with longer hair. Freaking stunning. For anyone interested, I've compiled about 35 shots of Fabio on my webpage at www.myspace.com/hoyageorge ... and holy cow, what a killer smile. He's the next big deal in sports marketing, I predict. The Italian David Beckham.
Forza Azzurri! Viva Italia!
Posted by: George Biagi | Jul 20, 2006 3:59:48 AM
Oh my god!! I want all of them...especially Fabio!!! So so hot!!!
