What was your inspiration behind Milano Veneziani's character? He is very complex and complicated!

Olga Goa Greetings dear Cheyenne!
Thank you for your interest towards my book. x

A really wise question. I like it. Actually Milano is a mix of people I faced in my real life or still face. He also represents our society where are not all people voices can be heard and supported. Mostly, they are ignored. Milano expresses my thoughts and feelings as well about love and life. That's why he's so complicated. ;)

If talking about Milano personality, as we will find out later in the book FATEFUL ITALIAN PASSION 2, he has a bipolar disorder. His mental issues do not let him to react normally about some things but he tries to live as all of us. Adding to that, he experienced lots of bad things in his life, including betrayal of a woman he loved and his too much young parents' ignoration and their indifference while he was growing up as a child and how his feelings were not important to them when he became an adult. Milano thinks that all world is sh*t and no one cares about what happens in his soul and heart. So he is disappointed in our world. We see how weak he can be and broken when we reading his conversation with Veronica. But only the one and only Veronica cares about him but his doubts still do not let him to trust her fully. Milano believes in actions, so he tests Veronica all time when they are together.

Let's hope Veronica will win over Milano's stony heart. ;)
