"The film will be broadcast in April, and we filmed it this summer. It was an interesting project. I played an Italian who arrives in Bulgaria and we fight over an inheritance. The series is supposed to be a comedy. My character speaks all the time in Italian. This role allowed me to follow how the film industry works in Bulgaria, it is quite different from here in Italy. Now I am starting to shoot another series in Rome. It is Italian and it is called Leonardo Wanted. It is dedicated to the life of Leonardo da Vinci. I will impersonate his student and assistant Salai. We are shooting the teaser and in April the actual filming will start," says Alessandro in fluent Bulgarian.

The young actor is fond of his Bulgarian roots, so he often travels to Bulgaria to see his friends and relatives. Like most children from mixed marriages, at home he communicates in Bulgarian with his mother and in Italian with his father. But that is not enough. Alessandro decides to improve his mother tongue and goes to Sunday school, albeit as a student. For two years, the young man attended the Bulgarian school "Asen and Ilia Peikovi" in Rome. And he admits that the main "stumbling block" was learning the Cyrillic alphabet.

"The idea was to learn to write and read better in Bulgarian and to learn a little more about Bulgarian history and culture. The curious thing was that this coincided at one point with my studies at the university, i.e. in the morning I went to lectures, then on Sundays I attended the Bulgarian Sunday school. In fact, I have never lived in Bulgaria and I learned to speak Bulgarian thanks to my grandmother and my mother."

Alessandro claims that in the last 5-6 years he has become even closer to Bulgaria through his Bulgarian girlfriend and the filming of the series. He hopes to participate in a Bulgarian production again. And the fact that he is the bearer of two cultures makes him more profound and convincing as an actor, Alessandro believes.

"It helps because you have a different way of thinking, and I see two cultures. When you interpret a given role, you give everything from your cultural background and you are more open-minded. The more languages you speak, the more cultures you know. This gives life to your characters. I feel my Bulgarian essence. It is expressed with the special warmth that Bulgarians have. These are people who will do everything possible to help you. And I feel this strongly in myself. If a friend of mine or a person needs something, I will be there, by his side," says Alessandro Massacci in conclusion.
