From the Faculty of Law to the Academy of Cinema. Were you lost?

Fabius De Vivo: I took my first exams and I dug inside myself and I realized that it was necessary to drastically change course to pursue my passions.

Your acting training is recent. You started four years ago with a course in film acting at the Academy of Cinema ” Immagina ” in Florence. What attracted you to a film career?

Fabius De Vivo: My acting career began in my land, Puglia. I started to get passionate about acting by attending the Teatro dei Limoni in Foggia and at the same time I was following singing and dance lessons. I believe that an actor must try his hand on several fronts to feed his art.

What do you like about acting?

Fabius De Vivo: I have already tried to give a definition that fully expresses how meaningful acting is in my life. Chaos and Quiet. Love and Pain. Expectations and Disappointments. Depth. Emotions. That’s what I need, today and forever.

Do you plan to attend an academy?

Fabius De Vivo: The vicissitudes of life have led me to make different choices up to now. My vitalistic fury, however, reminds me that to evolve it is always necessary to get involved. So I don’t rule out this possibility.

You have more than 80 thousand followers on IG. Do you consider yourself an influencer?

Fabius De Vivo: If by influencer you mean someone eager to spread kindness, art, beauty and willpower, then just call me that!

How did you come to the world of fashion? Was it your goal or was it a coincidence?

Fabius De Vivo: I believe that cinema and fashion are two parallel universes, which can intertwine, walk hand in hand, influence each other, without ever canceling each other out. Whatever set it is, the feeling is that you are always at home.

On Clubhouse you are the founder of the first club in Italian on the law of attraction epoften have a philosophy of life based on gratitude. What do you find in Newage theories that is not already in oriental philosophical-religious systems, far more ancient, from which they draw inspiration?

Fabius De Vivo: I believe there is a spiritual awakening going on. There is no real difference except in the fact that, nowadays, information spreads at a remarkable speed and this allows greater usability of profound concepts, which push man to accept spirituality with awareness.

There is something you can show everyone by saying: look, this difficulty, without the law that I follow, would I never have been able to transform it?

Fabius De Vivo: There are many laws that govern the Universe. We are all interconnected energetically and when we show positivity and gratitude, dwelling on what we have and not on the shortcomings, we are predisposed to receive the magic that life has in store for us. My modus vivendi is nothing more than a set of ethereal and concrete knowledge.

What is the gratitude?

Fabius De Vivo: Gasoline, energy, joy! People who deepen this concept are able to transmute their existence by facing every difficulty that arises on their path with completely different eyes. It represents everything. All the focus of my life.

You are the protagonist of “The great war of Salento”. The film tells the story of Antonio, the first fan in the history of Italy to lose his life for a football match. What was it like playing this character? What will remain imprinted on this experience?

Fabius De Vivo: Playing this character was a huge honor as well as a responsibility. Living two months immersed in my nature of my beloved land and sharing the set with Marco Leonardi was indescribable. I grew up and got very excited.

What did you find out about yourself playing Antonio?

Fabius De Vivo: Welcoming this character into the strings of my soul was wonderful. Antonio, paradoxically, represents my essence. A young man eager to learn, to improve himself and who chooses with courage to grasp the beauty of small things and to share it with others.

As an influencer, social is your world. But social networks are also a sea of ​​hate, anger, frustration, rudeness. They are the realm of fake news, manipulative, haters. How does a young spiritual man like you survive in such a context?

Fabius De Vivo: I am a human being. Multifaceted. I am linked to spirituality and personal growth and I am also fascinated by social networks because at the moment they represent the best way to express myself. A photo, a video, get straight to the point without going around it too much. Through a simple post I can communicate my being, my creativity and my point of view without ever losing authenticity. The same one that made people fond of me.

You are a resourceful young man. In which direction do you think your life will go: fashion, communication, cinema?

Fabius De Vivo: My greatest elect is and always will be cinema. I’m also starting to get passionate about writing and directing. I don’t want to project myself too much into the future to enjoy and fully experience everything that will arise on my path and will frame my greatest vocation: acting.
