After Edilson Nascimento, DNA turns to Europe for its new cover — namely Italy, home of the dangerous hunk above in Rome Away From Home. Photographer Roberto Chiovitti shot model Alex Marte in a park of the Italian capital. “It was very funny to shoot with a Vespa half-naked in a park with lots of daddies very interested in me — much more than their wives,” Alex tells DNA.

Alex Marte started modeling at age 17 in Milan. “Two years later I started underwear modeling,” he explains. “I started to work out seriously to grow like a builder and decided to just do underwear and use my image for big gay events in Europe.” He likes pizza and Eros Ramazzoti — just play Amarti È L’Immenso Per Me if you want to make him cry. And when asked if he ever had sex in an elevator, on the beach or in a Fiat Bambino, he reports: “Oral sex in an elevator. On the beach very often. In the Fiat Bambino… outside, ’cause I’m too big!”

Head on to the gallery for more of Alex, and the Fiat Bambino dilemma all explained.
